{"product_id":"9780571247561","title":"A Sleepwalk On The Severn","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a poetry collection for adults, a nocturnal journey along the Severn Estuary. Its central theme is moonrise, traced through five forms—new moon, half moon, full moon, no moon, and moon reborn—and voiced by living and dead figures drawn from real people in the Severn catchment. The poems cultivate a meditative, awe-filled tone that invites careful listening and a sense of wonder about language, water, and the night.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresented as a multi-voiced sequence, the work blends registers and personae into a single nocturnal voyage. Voices speak toward the moment of moonrise, their language moving between lyric reflection, ritual incantation, and earthly detail. The effect is intimate and expansive—a listening room where water, weather, memory, and speech illuminate one another.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reading experience is immersive and musical. The varied voices and time shifts reward slow reading and repeated returns. Readers move through the text as if strolling the estuary at night, hearing how the moon's light reshapes sound and meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive distinct moon forms anchor the narrative with varied mood and form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoices from living and departed figures drawn from real Severn communities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater, night, and language imagery paired with tidal rhythm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLyrical, precise writing with shifting registers and cadences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages reflective reading, attentive listening, and rereading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat you gain after finishing is a heightened sense of place and language: a quieter, more attentive way of experiencing water, moonlight, and memory.
