As well as being one of our greatest novelists, Swift is also a masterful poet. Now, for the first time, a selection of his poems has been collected in a single volume to celebrate his 50 years as a published writer. Like his prose, his poetry is deft, humane and understatedly powerful - a true testament to a lifetime spent in pursuit of literary excellence.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Poems for Fifty Years","offer_id":46660532699333,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-3985-6742-9.jpg?v=1785892281","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/poems-for-fifty-years","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
