Risking unease, using language both tender and ironic, Zieroth's poems range from the cockiness of flight, from Dick and Jane readers to insurance clerks and blind nurses, and to the inevitability of decline. Still, the poet remains alert to the re-emergence of his boyhood hope: to be brave, to ship out, to learn to sleep on waves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harbour Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411379806359,"sku":"9781550174687","price":996.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781550174687.webp?v=1767443733","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-fly-in-autumn-9781550174687","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
