Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Taylor Swift's defining breakout hit, 'Love Story', was written in twenty minutes on her bedroom floor and now is used for fan proposals at live shows that sell out stadiums and the adjacent car parks. With every new album, fans know what to expect, but Swift is far from predictable. From awards show blunders, easter eggs, secret sessions, two surprise lockdown albums and a dramatic social media blackout, Taylor has laid the table for the pop princesses that will come after her. Caitlin Robson writes her way through 11 albums and 18 years of lyrics, stories, controversies, and re-recordings, setting a precedent for the music industry to allow artists to demand ownership. There are bigger issues at play in her lyrics: gender politics, important mental health conversations, the building of an enormous musical community while meaning that letter-writing pen pal dynamic with fans. With songwriting still her biggest asset, Taylor Swift has many more decades of music to come, and this is the definitive treatment of her work to date. There are bigger issues at play in Swift's lyrics; gender politics, mental health conversations, and the building of an enormous musical community while maintaining that letter-writing pen pal dynamic with fans. A fascinating biography of one of the most famous women in the world right now. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Figures of history and legend, contemporary figures, the poet's friends and neighbours, and some goddesses rub shoulders in these poems, which begin with the formation of continents and continue into the present. Many characters speak for themselves, more are spoken about, and there are verse letters to friends. A big sequence starts in the village of Holme in West Yorkshire, comes back often to Jacqueline who 'came inland', visits the Stone Age, Europe, Asia, China and Massachusetts, and ends among the may trees of Holme. 'A poem is a search for values', and these poems look for 'mays' and certainties, thoughtful and moving. The style is allusive, the forms are various, there are puns, assonance, repetition and a profusion of half-rhymes too clever by half. These poems look outward, and reassert the music of poetry. This is Chris Preddle's third collection. Figures of history and legend, contemporary figures, the poet's friends and neighbours, and some goddesses rub shoulders in these poems, which begin with the formation of continents and continue into the present.
