{"product_id":"9781398567429","title":"Poems for Fifty Years : A Celebration","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Booker Prize Graham Swift's poems published as a collection for the first time.   Distilling the themes that have absorbed him across a 50-year career as a published writer, Poems of Fifty Years encapsulates what has made the author of Waterland, Last Orders and Mothering Sunday one of our greatest and most beloved writers.�One of the subjects of the poems is undoubtedly time, and time is, undoubtedly, one of the subjects of my fiction. Fifty years is quite a serious chunk of time, and I hope this book of poems will stand the test of time, along with all my other books.   Best known as a writer of fiction, Graham Swift's novels have received accolades and awards for over half a century. As well as being one of our greatest novelists, Swift is also a masterful poet. Now, for the first time, a selection of his poems has been collected in a single volume to celebrate his 50 years as a published writer. Like his prose, his poetry is deft, humane and understatedly powerful - a true testament to a lifetime spent in pursuit of literary excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":60214719938894,"sku":"9781398567429","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781398567429.jpg?v=1784985421","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781398567429","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
