A bubbling cauldron of brilliant ideas and experimental form playfully executed to perfection—each poem shimmers with its rejoice in the spell craft of poetry. No-one else is writing like this in Ireland.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Stephen Murray **\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Timothy Emlyn Jones’s T\u003cem\u003ehe Language Game\u003c\/em\u003e is, particularly in the Irish context, an exceptional work of poetry. He is a poet profoundly influenced by a particular version of experimental poetics… But he also has a fundamental grasp of poetic form, which he uses in a most playful way. In common with other experimental poets on these islands, Jones knows that language is a means of ideology, and not to be taken at face value. Unlike many of them, he knows other things too, such as what “monetarism” was. He absolutely gets my vote.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Kevin Higgins **\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555358351733,"sku":"9781915022769","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-language-game","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
