{"product_id":"the-balcony","title":"The Balcony","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Balcony\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunning collection by one of Australia's quiet masters of poetry (Robert Adamson said of Brooks' previous collection, \u003ci\u003eUrban Elegies\u003c\/i\u003e, that it contained some of 'the best and most uplifting poetry that I have experienced in years'), \u003ci\u003eThe Balcony\u003c\/i\u003e is a volume of one hundred love poems in the tradition of Pablo Neruda's \u003ci\u003eThe Captain's Verses\u003c\/i\u003e or Jacques Prevert's \u003ci\u003eParoles\u003c\/i\u003e, but on closer acquaintance becomes so much more. This poetry is by turns erotic, visceral, political, satirical, philosophical and confessional - often all of these at the same time - and is always deeply and unabashedly sensual and lyrical, in a manner that has led early readers, pre-publication, to suggest that it marks the arrival of a powerful new style in this country's writing.","brand":"David Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43515777220669,"sku":null,"price":23.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780702236693.jpg?v=1787488931","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-balcony","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
