{"product_id":"9781908376671","title":"The Play of Waves (Visible Poets)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Play of Waves is a collection of poems written over the period of five years by Malta’s most distinguished poet, Immanuel Mifsud. It falls into six sections: the first consists of mainly lyrical poems; the second explores mental instability and the fluidity of the Self; the third is a sequence of travel poems; the fourth focuses on the dialectic of body-spirit; the fifth consists of poems about sex and sexuality; and the sixth and final section is a short cycle about Medusa. Throughout all six sections, the theme of ‘waiting’ runs as a leitmotiv – waiting at airports, at the psychiatric clinic, at railway stations, sex-workers waiting for clients, lonely people waiting for imaginary lovers. This is a powerful yet tender collection from a writer whose name may be familiar as winner of the European Union Prize for Literature in 2011 but whose unique poetic voice is little-known outside Malta.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arc Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45536747814991,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":455.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781908376671","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
