Polley has been guided more and more by old-fashioned lyric inspiration of the sort all too rare in contemporary English poetry. In the quiet, insistent chants of his love poems and in his almost occult conjurings of time and place, Polley achieves both a directness of expression and unsentimental intimacy of address that only a poet of very considerable gifts could even attempt. \u003ci\u003e Little Gods\u003c\/i\u003e unequivocally announces Polley as one of the leading British poets of his generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Praise for \u003ci\u003eThe Brink\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'The kind of poetry that imbues the everyday, the tarnished and burnished, with the possibilities of the transcendent' \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'A sparkling collection of crystalline poems, succinct in their observation, precise in their form' \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233600983384,"sku":"9780330444200","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780330444200.jpg?v=1769004915","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/little-gods-6","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
