{"product_id":"testament-2","title":"Robert Crawford: Testament [2014] paperback","description":"To make a testament is to attempt to pass on what matters most. In his seventh full-length collection of poems Robert Crawford writes of love, loss, belief, and commitment. Whether in intimate erotic lyrics or in a sustained engagement with the politics of Scottish independence he writes with passion, wit, and assurance about struggles to pass on values and treasures. The book opens with a sequence of love poems, and closes with 'Testament', a startlingly fresh gathering of deftly rhymed paraphrases based on the New Testament. Whether making versions of Cavafy or elegising fellow poet Mick Imlah, or writing how a father hands on a piece of marble to his son, Robert Crawford shows in \u003ci\u003eTestament \u003c\/i\u003ehow poetry can communicate from generation to generation aspects of what makes us most vulnerably and engagingly human.","brand":"Crawford, Robert","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47935694733651,"sku":"XV80224098076","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/crawford-robert-testament-xv80224098076-55269822103891.jpg?v=1728381545","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/testament-2","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
