The complete collection of Kingsley Amis's poems, as witty, scabrous and bracing as his celebrated novels Although best known for his comic novels, Kingsley Amis wrote poetry throughout his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollected Poems spans subjects from nature and cricket to love, ageing and literature, brimming with his characteristic wit and irreverence, yet full of compassion. 'The Last War' brings home the futility of battle by portraying countries as flawed characters destined for misfortune, while 'Their Oxford' reflects on the passing of time, and in contrast the playful 'Sight Unseen' laments the difficulty of attracting women. By turns provocative and poignant, this collection provides an illuminating glimpse into the heart and mind of Amis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available from Whimsy and Wonder with New Zealand delivery or Christchurch pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891393822756,"sku":"B9780141194219","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/penguin-random-house-collected-poems-book.jpg?v=1785750512","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/collected-poems","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
