{"product_id":"9781789633344","title":"City Sonnets by Jonathan Bradley","description":"City Sonnets presents a poet's view of modern city life in all its variety. Thirty-six sonnets written in traditional form explore the dark and the light, the rich and the poor, the ugly and the beautiful. There are poems about a beggar, cathedrals, van drivers and concert halls, cats and rats and many other topics. Each one has a colour illustration that complements the vivid evocation of urban existence in the verse. The writing explores what it means to be a human being living among many others, with all the tensions, anxieties, pleasures and joys that they experience. The sonnet form, with its fourteen lines, regular metre and rhyming scheme, brings a sharp focus on the practicalities and dreams of city living.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307047989621,"sku":"9781789633344","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789633344.jpg?v=1762802880","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789633344","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
