description: The Price of Everything brings together two long poems. "Lines of Desire" depicts an individual in crisis under pressure from past and present events. "Joe Soap" combines narrative and lyric forms to trace an historical pattern reaching from the First World War to a contemporary apocalypse. Both are remarkable additions to Motion's important and ongoing body of work.
