{"product_id":"marston-meadows","title":"Marston Meadows","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the prizewinning poet, a tender, nostalgic and dryly witty collection that celebrates the companionship of marriage, the small joys of growing old, and the ever-illuminating beauty of the English countryside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA walk is like a knot that gets undone,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnd yet it keeps us closer. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMarston Meadows\u003c\/i\u003e, John Fuller celebrates the rewards of a life lived in rich attentiveness to the world. The book opens with the extraordinary title sequence, a corona of fifteen intertwining sonnets written for the poet's wife on their diamond wedding anniversary. At once magisterial and delicate, they build into a moving meditation on how our selves are shaped, and deepened, by long companionship, under the growing shadow of mortality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking in a dizzying sweep of human time, Fuller reflects on what keeps us together and what breaks us apart. With spectacular formal dexterity and a tender awe, the poems track the hidden lives of wildflowers, birds, and other emissaries from an increasingly fragile natural world. Lyrical, irreverent, freighted with a lifetime's understanding, the poems reach out, with the humility of an apprentice, to the precious others who share our path: 'Can you tell \/ Me \/ Something of love?'","brand":"John Fuller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43516626894909,"sku":null,"price":33.24,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/marston-meadows","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
