S. J. Tessimond’s first collection of poetry, characterised by its clarity, restraint, and reflective tone. His work often explores themes of urban life, emotional distance, and quiet introspection, expressed through precise language and controlled lyricism. The collection reflects the understated, contemplative style for which Tessimond later became known.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53334852600147,"sku":"3357-RM-F-VG-37","price":149.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_181e39a6-8d0c-488c-ac86-6843e90d511a.jpg?v=1774536077","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-walls-of-glass-a-s-j-tessimond-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
