{"product_id":"concrete-sea-9781788641401","title":"Concrete Sea","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe willingness to take risks with form and to push the reader's expectations of what a poem might be make E A Griffiths' poetry immediately distinctive. Here we find lyrical poems that are tiny, elliptical, often heart-breaking and utterly located in a sense of place that is at once home and yet the terrain of struggle. \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on Welsh tradition and the complexity that spins from needing to learn your native language so that even when it becomes fluent it never becomes the language of dream, the collection also opens a dialogue with concrete poetry. It's a move that allows words to fragment, names to partially mirror themselves, breath to expand the possibilities of the poem on the page. The concrete poetry in this collection is as serious as a funeral, or electric shock therapy, yet it is also playful, generous and expansive. \u003cbr\u003e Moving between the concrete and the lyrical, \u003ci\u003eConcrete Sea\u003c\/i\u003e is a cohesive, tightly-written debut that invites us to feel into the experiences of the poems, emerging with the sense of another's heart-print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16050199\"\u003eE.
