{"product_id":"trawlermans-turquoise","title":"Trawlerman’s Turquoise","description":"Trawlerman’s Turquoise, Matthew Caley’s sixth collection, features various seemingly recherché elements – telepathy, Madame Blavatsky, epistolary novels, muse worship, Balzac’s coffee addiction and Thomas Merton’s accidental electrocution amongst them – not always as straightforward ‘subject matter’, but caught up in the backdraft of the poems’ acceleration. The book’s title derives from the long, central, hyper-associative poem, ‘from The Foldings’ – trawlerman’s turquoise being a phrase to describe a psychic glimpse of the ocean for perennial inner-city dwellers, who have only ever heard rumour of one. Caley’s lyrics and love poems are poised between sincerity and its inverse, and a seeming ‘parallel world’, which gradually emerges, sits at odds with, and sheds light on, the current state of our actual world – full of melting borders, random dangers, shifting identities, misread communiqués, false reports and information overload – destabilising and exhilarating in equal measure.","brand":"Bloodaxe Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32143350038611,"sku":"","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781780374888_433eb0fb-c3b3-4e0c-ae84-556ebe3ed38a.jpg?v=1767777339","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/trawlermans-turquoise","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
