He explores the natural order in dialogue--sometimes playful, sometimes grave--with a personal realm of love, mortality, and the history embedded in the language we exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether describing the birdlife he sees even during wintertime, speculating on the voices heard by sleeping sailors at sea, or writing a love poem he cannot read to his departed wife, Galvin remains a poet of consummate skill and powerful emotion who works the narrative lyric with great precision of attention, flexibility of tone, and expressivity of figure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44165075304471,"sku":"9780807184769","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/810K0WQuLqL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1767989758","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/galvin-brendan-in-plenty-pb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
