A conversation with a telemarketer becomes a monologue on overcoming loss, stray animals provoke cautionary tales shared between generations of women, and junk mail fosters a meditation on necessity, debt, and the inevitability of one\u0026amp;#39;s passing. From the elegiac, to the playful, to the meditative, McGrath effortlessly shifts from a natural refinement to a near breathless elegance. Well worth the wait, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Escape Velocity\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; marks the return of McGrath\u0026amp;#39;s receptive intelligence, gathering strength and taking flight.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"icehouse poetry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65420106563933,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/1007.jpg?v=1789466844","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9780864929068","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
