{"product_id":"o-positive","title":"O Positive","description":"O Positive is the long-awaited debut collection of poetry from Joe Dunthorne, and it has all the appeal of his widely acclaimed fiction. \n\nAdopting a sunny, genial tone, Dunthorne lures the reader to darker places, exploring death and dread, failure and regret - the 'lounge of our suffering'. Often, he catches us off-guard: a 'whiplash' effect where poems shift from laughter to slaughter in a moment. Impertinent owls, an immersive theatre troupe, ancient men from the Great War and idiot balloonists - such characters dramatise our human fancies and foibles, joining the protagonist in scenarios both humorously bizarre and all-too-familiar. These performances serve to probe and unpeel the layers of the self - all the way down to the raw.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39667919552597,"sku":"9780571342556N","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/180b4a63-7c80-437d-aa3a-361655b85794.jpg?v=1644272834","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/o-positive","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
