{"product_id":"9781787334557","title":"The Empire of Forgetting","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Burnside's last collection of poems gathers around a single theme - mortality - and draws on his faltering health and earlier glances with death, creating a powerfully moving exploration of memory, forgetting and the seven ages. Here, as always, there is a clear-eyed curiosity; a sense of wonder at the beleaguered natural world and its endless mutability - its hidden beauty, often suddenly disclosed - and a deep faith in its old gods. Burnside was always as much a spirit-guide as a poet, and here, in 'The Empire of Forgetting', we are never far from a fresh alertness to the world, to epiphany - a sudden, spiritual manifestation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Cape","offers":[{"title":"John \/ Burnside","offer_id":55721557262709,"sku":"9781787334557","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781787334557_0271d81a-15cd-4566-b8a3-95edfab4c68f.jpg?v=1763817675","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.live\/products\/9781787334557","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
