- Summary:
- From the 'small world' of modern family life, evoked with humour and an acute ear for its intricate dynamics, Richard Price's Small World travels into the catastrophe of sudden, devastating illness. Price's poems explore how the world must be relearned - by the patient, by the poet. How far is it true that 'Only translations remain / of what we were'?
- A love letter, a record, Small World is an unforgettable testimony to love and courage. Book jacket.
