{"product_id":"9780571384853","title":"After You Were, I Am","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary debut heralds the arrival of a major new talent.   In After You Were, I Am, charged moments from history collide with our own godless modern world. The book's three sections - ingenious rewritings of canonical prayers, dramatic monologues from the Pendle witch trials of 1612, and the divine tragedy of the Elizabethan magus John Dee - obsess over individual human characters and how our past informs (and informs on) our present. Ralphs's style is utterly distinctive; she is a modern metaphysical, tapping into a haunting, era-spanning utterance enlivened by the electric pulse of wordplay and imaginative conceit. This is poetry that in comprehending the past manages to make of it something utterly original and contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45469717594333,"sku":"9780571384853","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780571384853.jpg?v=1720174403","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780571384853","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
