{"product_id":"bevel","title":"Bevel","description":"\"Bevel\" is William Letford's first book, but his poems have already earned him a large following thanks to his brilliant performances and through Carcanet's \"New Poetries V\" anthology. Letford makes poems from the rhythms of speech and the stuff of daily life: work and love, seasons and cities, and his writing is alive with the wonder and comedy of the mundane. Bevel is filled with voices - 'an he says \/ A love the summer \/ it's hoat \/ ye kin wear yer shoarts...' - and with the knowledge that becomes engrained in the body: 'The weight of a drill. The texture of rust.' Letford works as a roofer, a trade that gives him a particular perspective on life at ground level. 'Be prepared', he writes: pay attention to the moment, know which way to fall. His poems are sure and strong, the words dance.","brand":"Carcanet Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32048648192083,"sku":"","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781847771926.jpg?v=1765872925","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/bevel","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
