The breaking of the glass is a famous Jewish wedding tradition, and of course everyone knows about things old, borrowed and blue. The list of nuptial traditions is endless. Yet when it comes to finding the right poem for your celebration, too often the same old options appear. \u003cem\u003eSomething New\u003c\/em\u003e reinvigorates the wedding-poem anthology with one hundred fresh and exciting choices to reflect the weddings of today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor these poets, the weight of history is an invitation to elaborate on what editors Caroline Bird and Rachel Long call 'the endless uniqueness of the heart', to rewrite and reimagine everything a union of two people can be. Ranging from the sincere to the surreal, these poems celebrate marriage equality, joyful idiosyncrasy, and the simple domesticity of married life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIan Duhig and Clare Shaw offer slant interpretations of the wedding vow. 'I want to get high my whole life with you', declares Hera Lindsay Bird, serenading the manic romance of industrial carpet outlet stores and leather hot-pants. Written in 1992, Essex Hemphill's proclamation that 'Every time we kiss \/ we confirm the new world coming' remains as prescient as it does defiant. Each of the poems in \u003cem\u003eSomething New\u003c\/em\u003e gestures at the true and eternal purpose of a wedding: an invitation to bear witness to love in all its forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46837315666156,"sku":"9781035069170","price":64.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f7b6efa5c36a7fabc84ae0f827ba0fae.jpg?v=1758653350"},{"product_id":"crafting-country-by-caroline-bird-9781743326169","title":"Crafting Country","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on ten years of surveys and excavations in Nyiyaparli country in the eastern Chichester Ranges, north-west Australia, \u003ci\u003eCrafting Country\u003c\/i\u003e provides a unique synthesis of Holocene archaeology in the Pilbara region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe analysis of about 1000 sites, including surface artefact scatters and 19 excavated rock shelters, as well as thousands of isolated artefacts, takes a broad view of the landscape, examining the distribution of archaeological remains in time and space.
