{"product_id":"rhapsody-2","title":"Rhapsody","description":"'This book is a living, guiding, singing thing... I will cherish it and revisit it as long as I live' Max Porter'One of the finest living poets writing in English' Raymond AntrobusA daring, genre-defying work of non-fiction from one of our greatest poetsAlice Oswald goes in search of poetry in its original, wildest form – before it was written down, before it belonged to a single voice – and finds it still speaking all around us. What begins as an attempt to ‘interview’ Homer becomes a thrilling exploration of an anonymous tradition that exists beyond authorship, spanning a world of singers, storytellers, mourners and listeners, of nightingales, grasshoppers and rivers. Zigzagging through ballads, riddles, pibrochs, drama, interviews, artificial intelligence and sonnets, Rhapsody is a restless, miraculous exploration of poetry in its most vital form, and a resounding manifesto for the oral tradition. At once intimate and expansive, Oswald invites us to listen to the voices that shape us, and to recognise poetry not as a solitary, written art, but as a communal, essential human inheritance.","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58469301682511,"sku":"9781787332218","price":31.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781787332218_1-rhapsody.jpg?v=1786638772","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/rhapsody-2","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
