{"product_id":"9781895636666","title":"Bizarre Winery Tragedy","description":"'Bizarre Winery Tragedy' is a book of lyric poems about country folk, city folk, alcohol and urbanism. These poems continue Neff's quest to explore the modern-day juxtaposition of urban and rural landscapes, and the lines of power between the countryside and the metropolis-firewood, dams and the WiFi-enabled grid. Deeper insights emerge in this, the author's third published collection.  'Bizarre Winery Tragedy' is 21st-century poetry that juggles death and technology and finds some nasty laughs in the process. Think of it as a strange and tragic road trip through British Columbia's wine-consuming regions, with Neff at the wheel.  \"These poems pack a wallop. They're full of outrage and bravado, tempered by amazing insights and a highly developed musical sensibility. They steam and churn' with the energy of the city, they burn with this young poet's hottest fire of sight'.\" -Lorna Crozier  \"Lyle Neff understands, without the melodrama and hysterics of so many of his contemporaries, the duality of his natural surroundings-trees and skyscrapers, mountains and public transit-and never once portrays this with anything less than a lyric beauty full of imagination, humour, and optimism.\" -Evan Jones, New Canadian Poetry  \"Lyle Neff's as indiosyncratic and epigrammatic, as off-kilter and dead-on, as insolent and restless and thoughtfully skilled as a poet should be. From here on in almost everybody else is playing catch-up.\" -Michael Holmes","brand":"Anvil Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65440725664093,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781895636666.jpg?v=1789081850","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781895636666","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
