{"product_id":"ten-poems-about-sheds-poetry-book-paperback","title":"Ten Poems about Sheds - Poetry Book - Paperback","description":"Sheds have come a long way since the man-cave cliché. These days, a shed is a far more democratic place – somewhere that symbolises the privacy and space that we all need. John Greening’s wonderfully varied selection of poems explores sheds from every imaginable angle. The poems take us to a child’s hiding place, a treasury of exotic implements and rich aromas and a retreat in which to remember the past. Derek Mahon’s fęted poem ‘A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford’ creates a mysterious inner world which seems to exist outside time. A shed may just be a place to keep the lawnmower, or it may be somewhere to escape to in order to write or paint. Sometimes it’s a haven in which to daydream when the house is full of noise and bustle. Elsewhere it’s: “A sea-side arbour, a garden shanty, knocked together out of driftwood and furnished with a beat-up sofa…” from ‘Arbour’ by Kathleen Jamie. This enchanting selection leads the reader quietly into private worlds and makes the perfect gift for every shed-lover. Poems by Fleur Adcock, Alison Brackenbury, John Greening, Stuart Henson, Kathleen Jamie, Derek Mahon, John McAuliffe, MR Peacocke, Carol Rumens, Vernon Scannell.\u003cbr\u003ePUBLISHER:\u003cbr\u003eCandlestick Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIND:\u003cbr\u003epaperback\u003cbr\u003ePAGES:\u003cbr\u003e24\u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003cbr\u003e137 x 210 mm","brand":"NATIONWIDE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41798104973445,"sku":"PR427958","price":21.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/ten-poems-about-sheds-poetry-book-paperback","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
