{"product_id":"9781678197254","title":"King's Road to Pleasant Street (And Other Poems to Nowhere)","description":"In his second volume of poetry, Jace Paul takes a retrospective look at the works of his early years. Roughly divided into two eras, the \"King's Road\" years of his childhood and the time spent in a \"Pleasant Street\" apartment during college, the poems are deeply confessional and richly textured with strong and often conflicting emotions. From the award-winning \"Breakfast\" and \"The Serpent,\" to poignant set-pieces like \"Bill\" and \"L'Americain,\" Paul consistently employs colorful, straightforward language to capture his subjects and experiences. Though poetry has lost much of its appeal and value in the twenty-first century, Paul charges it with new energy by making it more about stories than images, more compassionate than abstract.","brand":"Jace Paul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46988216762686,"sku":"9781678197254","price":755.28,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781678197254_c4dfe9e2-3d2a-4c53-8abb-b7c78bb0c7c6.jpg?v=1707593296","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781678197254","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
