It was while Hugo Williams was out of circulation following transplant surgery that he wrote the poems for this new collection - the first since \u003ci\u003eI Knew the Bride\u003c\/i\u003e (2014), shortlisted for the Forward and T. S. Eliot prizes. From youthful days 'upside down in the Crazy Room, \/ rising and falling on the Haunted Swing', he takes us to distant countries, both actual and metaphorical; participates in the 'mortal pantomime' of the hospital ward with humorous frankness; and offers a percipient account of growing older, with all its attendant doubts and disturbances. Autobiographical, psychological, remedial, \u003ci\u003eLines Off\u003c\/i\u003e heralds the return of this acclaimed poet, back to the stage of the page, offering us 'the performance of a lifetime'.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Lines Off | Hugo Williams | Paperback | 9780571349760 | New | Poetry 1446967","offer_id":50564719706370,"sku":"1446967","price":29.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/31cDJXmQsZL.jpg?v=1790755731","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/lines-off","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
