{"product_id":"9781948858557","title":"Kaleidoscope: Selected Poems","description":"Kaleidoscope: Selected Poems are sketches of people and places that have left a deep impression with author Josephine Chadwick. Her poetry collection was written over the last twenty-five years, and most of the 24 poems each fit on less than a page. “I worked in a government employment exchange from leaving school to getting married, and have always lived in the North of England. I moved from Manchester to Sheffield, when I married a steelworker. “We brought up six children and I have always been happy as a homemaker and mother. I live very happily in a garden suburb on the border of a national park. I like music and books and the theatre. “My late husband and I used to go rambling, but I can't walk far now. This is my first book and my last!” Breaking Free Came an exotic bird to my quiet bower Asked: Is there anywhere you’d rather be? You could see birds of paradise, rare flowers Or explore coral reefs beneath the sea. I’ll fly you anywhere … say Mandalay Or sail around the timeless isles of Greece Revel in the excitement of Bombay Or in Tibet find spiritual peace. So! All the world to choose from – how surreal! Kaleidoscopic, spins your head round. I tried imagining how it would feel … Someone like me who needs family around. Fear of the unknown led me to refuse And restless now I sit bemused.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eJosephine Chadwick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eStrategic Book Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJul 12, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e34 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e194885855X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781948858557\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Strategic Book Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50356161675569,"sku":"9781948858557","price":12.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781948858557__46574.jpg?v=1732358658","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781948858557","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
