The words we choose for nature are 'vital for living at one with the elements'. A relationship can bow under the strain of 'a lifetime's freight of words said and regretted.' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWords spoken and heard implant themselves for ever: 'To hell with men, let's devote our lives to words', is a fragment of a conversation with Sylvia Plath. Meanwhile words spoken years ago resurface: 'that's not for the likes of you'. These poems are about the lifetime endeavour of 'trying to learn the impossible language'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naked Eye Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45131523915927,"sku":"9781910981115","price":637.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781910981115.webp?v=1767906248","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nothing-but-words-9781910981115","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
