For \u003ci\u003eWanting the Day: Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, he has chosen the most dramatic poems from six earlier volumes. From the beginning of his career, Brian Bartlett's poetry has been refined and sensual, far-reaching and grounded.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this new collection, Bartlett's vision is distilled, and new combinations throw the insights of three decades into high relief. With a passion for the physical rooted in the spiritual, his poems combine seemingly discordant ideas and facts with emotion in a minimum of narrative space. Whether writing about a jazz drummer or a foot-doctor, a run-down hotel or an Adirondack mountain, his gift for language and insight brings into the reader's consciousness visions never before seen, thoughts and feelings never before recognized.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFavourites in the collection include \"Cousin Gifts,\" a small-scale, large-spirited Christmas poem; the sequence \"Underwater Carpentry,\" winner of a \u003ci\u003eMalahat Review\u003c\/i\u003e Long Poem prize; and \"Foot-doctor for the Homeless,\" winner of the Petra Kenney Award competition. \u003ci\u003eWanting the Day\u003c\/i\u003e has been published simultaneously in the UK by Peterloo Poets Society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goose Lane Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969766965399,"sku":"9780864923578","price":1384.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780864923578.webp?v=1782923976","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/wanting-the-day-selected-poems-9780864923578","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
