{"product_id":"a-marginal-sea-zoe-skoulding-9781800172517","title":"A Marginal Sea","description":"Shortlisted for the Wales Poetry Book of the Year Award 2023                              A Marginal Sea is written from the vantage point of Ynys Môn\/Anglesey, which is both on the edge of Wales and in a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean – the island is imagined here as a site of archipelagic connection with other places and histories, where the spaces of dream and digital technology are interwoven with the everyday. Skoulding's poems take their readers into new worlds: we come to terms with the oystercatcher's 'muscle of belonging'; we chart the cross-cultural coordinates of 'Newborough Warren with Map of Havana' ('and it's this way to the Malecón \/to look out over the Menai Strait'); elegy and song overlap in moving poems which think through how we remember and misremember: 'it's my voice \/\/ deepening with others that won't let themselves \/ be buried.' ('Anecdote for the Birds'). A Marginal Sea is inventive, exhilarating in its soundscapes, and brilliantly awake to otherness, in language, and in the animal and natural world.","brand":"Carcanet Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51506459574560,"sku":"9781800172517","price":10.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781800172517.jpg?v=1781102200","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-marginal-sea-zoe-skoulding-9781800172517","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
