{"product_id":"bevel","title":"Bevel","description":"\"Bevel\" is William Letford's first book, but his poems have already earned him a large following thanks to his brilliant performances and through Carcanet's \"New Poetries V\" anthology. Letford makes poems from the rhythms of speech and the stuff of daily life: work and love, seasons and cities, and his writing is alive with the wonder and comedy of the mundane. Bevel is filled with voices - 'an he says \/ A love the summer \/ it's hoat \/ ye kin wear yer shoarts...' - and with the knowledge that becomes engrained in the body: 'The weight of a drill. The texture of rust.' Letford works as a roofer, a trade that gives him a particular perspective on life at ground level. 'Be prepared', he writes: pay attention to the moment, know which way to fall. His poems are sure and strong, the words dance.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490207998325,"sku":"9781847771926","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847771926.jpg?v=1786442092","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/bevel","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
