The book opens with the extraordinary title sequence, a corona of fifteen intertwining sonnets written for the poet's wife on their diamond wedding anniversary. At once magisterial and delicate, they build into a moving meditation on how our selves are shaped, and deepened, by long companionship, under the growing shadow of mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaking in a dizzying sweep of human time, Fuller reflects on what keeps us together and what breaks us apart. With spectacular formal dexterity and a tender awe, the poems track the hidden lives of wildflowers, birds, and other emissaries from an increasingly fragile natural world. Lyrical, irreverent, freighted with a lifetime's understanding, the poems reach out, with the humility of an apprentice, to the precious others who share our path - 'Can you tell \/ Me \/ Something of love?'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071452594412,"sku":"9781784746544","price":38.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/322be7ddff02965de8fb15425f7467ee.jpg?v=1765053290","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/marston-meadows-by-john-fuller-9781784746544","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
