As well as being one of our greatest novelists, Swift is also a masterful poet. Now, for the first time, a selection of his poems has been collected in a single volume to celebrate his 50 years as a published writer. Like his prose, his poetry is deft, humane and understatedly powerful – a true testament to a lifetime spent in pursuit of literary excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48126561779948,"sku":"9781398567429","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781398567429-poems-for-fifty-years.jpg?v=1785969757","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/poems-for-fifty-years-by-graham-swift-9781398567429","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
