Some of our favourite poets are collected here, such as Elizabeth Bishop, Jackie Kay, Simon Armitage, Shakespeare, Imtiaz Dharker, Seamus Heaney and Don Paterson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese poems are by turns wry, moving, profound, funny, melancholic and wise; they will console and comfort those suddenly facing a house that may be much cleaner, but is also much quieter, than it once was. There is something here for every reader to treasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Wonderful . . . a poet alert to every sound and shape of language' - \u003ci\u003eTelegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 128 pages | Published February 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63867531133277,"sku":"9781529028690","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781529028690.jpg?v=1773596669","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/empty-nest-poems-for-families","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
