This \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how she has developed formally and thematically from the precocious and carefully considered first book, \u003ci\u003eThere Was Fire in Vancouver\u003c\/i\u003e (1996), to the most recent and highly praised, \u003ci\u003eOn Balance\u003c\/i\u003e (2017).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere\n is throughout Morrissey's work a civic dimension: her imagination is \ndynamically peopled, as are her various landscapes and sense of history,\n and she is drawn to the conflicts and contradictions at the heart of \nall human intention and inquiry, as well as to celebrating individual \nwomen and men and the things they create or unleash. There is always a \nparadox which she enters and explores, making it luminous but never \nresolving it. For Morrissey, each poem becomes a word-space in which \nreaders are set free on their own journey of discovery.","brand":"Carcanet Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32150381264979,"sku":"9781784109318","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781784109318_814efdef-4ec4-4bce-b9bf-78ba73f1f81e.jpg?v=1764882040","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/found-architecture-selected-poems","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
