{"product_id":"slow-fires","title":"Slow Fires","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this deft collection, Leonard Lambert\u003cbr\u003econfronts mortality with poems at once moving\u003cbr\u003eand artless. We walk with him down the long\u003cbr\u003ecorridor of memory knocking at the occasional\u003cbr\u003edoor: opening some and interrogating the\u003cbr\u003einterior, pausing thoughtfully before others,\u003cbr\u003eand––being the trickster poet he often is––\u003cbr\u003eknocking loudly at a few, then skipping away.\u003cbr\u003eThere is a wistfulness here, a wryness, and, above\u003cbr\u003eall, the clarity that comes from a poet who has\u003cbr\u003espent so long perfecting his craft. Slow Fires is a\u003cbr\u003efine collection to read, warm your hands against,\u003cbr\u003eand savour. ––James Norcliffe\u003cbr\u003eLeonard Lambert (1945) is the author of seven\u003cbr\u003ecollections of verse spanning almost as many\u003cbr\u003edecades.
