About this product
Product Information
The poems in Child in Amber are about loss--of innocence, of life, of a way of living--and about how we either accept these losses with reverence and dignity or are swallowed up by them. Some of the poems tell of childhood and coming of age. Others are fantastical recountings of people, places, and the things the speakers have left behind. But not forever. For at the heart of the book lies the conviction that through these songs, the singers may somehow retain what was essential and sacred. In its darkest moments, the book reveals the despair we feel when confronted with the unavoidable fact of life--its passing. Kingdoms collapse in ruin, a lover departs, a hero is murdered, a world tumbles into oblivion. There seems no escape from tragedy and grief. But at certain moments the speakers of these poems--a janitor watching a prisoner's execution, a man recalling a childhood trauma, soldiers fleeing a cruel regime--realize the necessity of salvaging that which would have otherwise been washed away, of embracing their lives, of placing the eternal quality of these experiences in amber.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
