Your fetch 'fetches' you to the afterlife, willingly or otherwise. Bramwell's poetry uses the fetch as a model to explore a number of overlapping binaries - between the reader and the poem, most of all. \u003ci\u003eFetch\u003c\/i\u003e also meditates on the differences between music and speech, the sacred and the profane, the written and the real, humanity and nature, Scots and English. Incorporating multitudes of modes, forms, registers and subjects, Bramwell converses with the Anglo-Celtic lyric tradition in our own time and in his own distinctively amiable fashion. In other words, this poet takes poetry seriously--but not too seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFetch\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour-de-force debut from one of Britain's most exciting new poets, in which reverence and irreverence, religion and faithlessness, the living and the dead, nearly rhyme.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118189043735,"sku":"9781916751699","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/61yzfJu1duL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781817835","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/bramwell-colin-fetchpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
