Beyond\u003cbr\u003ethe Border is no exception. These are poems about\u003cbr\u003ethe loss of close friends, poems full of memory –\u003cbr\u003eand sometimes of regret, poems marked by wry\u003cbr\u003ehumour and rueful self-deprecation. Many are\u003cbr\u003erich in colour and sensation and close observation of the natural landscape. Many speak of the lasting consolations and pleasures of marriage and family, and of both the vicissitudes of old age and its unexpected joys. There is a deeply elegiac quality here, but there is also hope, acceptance and contentment in a life widely and thoughtfully lived, and the recognition that what lasts, and what means most, is love.\u003cbr\u003ePUBLISHER:\u003cbr\u003eQuentin Wilson Publishing\u003cbr\u003eAUTHOR:\u003cbr\u003eOwen Marshall\u003cbr\u003eBIND:\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePAGES:\u003cbr\u003e112\u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003cbr\u003e138 x 210 mm","brand":"NATIONWIDE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41797884510341,"sku":"PR426032","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/volts9781991354020_0_TSM5OFYRSNK2.jpg?v=1786157648","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/beyond-the-border-by-owen-marshall-paperback","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
