{"product_id":"arcimboldos-bulldog-new-and-selected-poems","title":"Arcimboldo's Bulldog","description":"In Arcimboldo’s famous seventeenth-century Mannerist portraits, the sitter’s face is composed of organic matter. In subordinating a mixture of elements into an unrelated whole, imagination can transform the medium of expression itself. Tim Liardet’s Arcimboldo’s Bulldog: New and Selected Poems spans nine of his ten award-winning collections and adds new poems, fresh produce, reconfiguring his life’s work to date.\n\nThe book draws on his two T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted collections The Blood Choir (2006) and The World Before Snow (2015). Vivid images, large abstractions, symbols, allegory, elegy, provocation, confession and lyric find a necessary place in his work. Arcimboldo’s Bulldog records achievement and includes a promissory note towards his next collection.","brand":"Carcanet Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32128982319187,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781784105709.jpg?v=1771448462","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/arcimboldos-bulldog-new-and-selected-poems","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
