{"product_id":"9781552455227","title":"On Occasion : Poems for the People - Sina Queyras","description":"\u003cp\u003eA twenty-first-century reconsideration of the occasional poem by contemporary writers. On Occasion is a collection rooted in the tradition of the poem as an act of love, an act of protest, an act of visionary incantation, of remembrance, of a call to arms, and a much-needed balm.�The traditional `occasional poem' has a bad rap: a tedious rhyming poem at a wedding or a dreary verse at a funeral. This is not that. These are poems for a tumultuous and complicated world, for occasions that may be celebrations or mournings, or anything in between; from life cycles, to earth cycles, to social cycles, editor Sina Queyras brings together a collection of poetry that speaks to moments of upheaval, revolution, and challenge. Poetry that people can turn to. On Occasion contains over a hundred poems for different occasions, including writing by Suzanne Buffam, Heather Christle, CAConrad, Sue Goyette, Canisia Lubrin, bpNichol, Michael Ondaatje, Lisa Robertson, Sue Sinclair, and A. E. Stallings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sina Queyras","offers":[{"title":"200 pages, Illustrations \/ 25\/06\/2026 \/ Poetry","offer_id":57157937332599,"sku":"9781552455227","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781552455227.jpg?v=1780996263","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781552455227","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
