Such qualities are on accomplished display in this anticipated new collection, as the poems mature and move on to a wide range of preoccupations, including imminent societal collapse and current riots; the limits of masculinity and complexities of fatherhood; as well as uncanny, often amusing scenarios, such as serving drinks to a gathering of fifteen babies or group kissing in Empathy Class. Throughout, incongruous and domestic subjects re-align in skewed lyrics and thought experiments, all presented with a generosity and tenderness that makes the poet so unmistakable - and indispensable for the strange times in which we live.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45032617050263,"sku":"9780571367252","price":932.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780571367252.webp?v=1767896920","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-year-in-the-new-life-9780571367252","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
