{"product_id":"drawer-of-letters-9781917617512","title":"Drawer of Letters","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrawer of Letters\u003c\/em\u003e by Ricky Monahan Brown is a wry, elegiac and formally varied collection that navigates illness, grief, intimacy and reinvention with intelligence and bite. Mixing elegy, haiku, lyric fragments and metatextual play, Brown's work is steeped in literary allusion and pop-cultural residue, from Camus and Cenn Fáelad to Bowie and Yuri Gagarin. Whether charting neurotrauma, navigating relationships, or reflecting on historical ruptures and afterlives, the poems move with tonal dexterity between absurdism, lyric grace and sharp wit. This is a collection haunted by loss but sustained by imagination. Drawer of Letters is resolutely mortal, deeply felt, and formally alert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrown, Ricky Monahan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Ricky Monahan Brown is a writer and poet living in Edinburgh.
