Centrepieces of this eclectic collection are an ode to a recycling centre and 'The Impossible Request' in which the author's grandmother forgets that he has told her that he is gay ('I know, pet. I know.') and asks if he has any girlfriends yet. Lives of the Saints is not like other books of poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Gallery Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57300397883774,"sku":"9781917371223","price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1331\/9925\/files\/1776432687.jpg?v=1776939892","url":"https:\/\/www.poetrybooks.co.uk\/products\/lives-of-the-saints-by-micheal-mccann","provider":"The Poetry Book Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
