Download or read book The Striped World written by Emma Jones and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their tidal imagination, the poems in this debut collection sweep between old worlds and new, seeking the lost and recovering the found among shipwrecks, underwater zoos and discovered lands. Emma Jones brings her inventive worlds dramatically to life in a series of vividly distilled meetings - of settlers and indigenous peoples, of seawaters and shore, of humanity and the wilds of nature. Here, tigers stalk the captive and the free, while Death encounters his own double and Daphne tells of her new leaves, 'They sing, and make the world.' The same might be said of the poems themselves in this restless and memorable search for belonging.

Download or read book Happiness written by Martin Harrison and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Harrison (1949-2014) prepared and delivered this final manuscript at the end of a prolific creative life. With the vulnerability of a lover, the poet peels back one cover of truth after another; reckless for the evidence of the senses, he sifts light, sound, and smell. Poems like the skin of a world: breathing, walking, touching. Martin Harrison's culminating poetic achievement is a crossing over - stylistically, thematically, emotionally. Mapping the tragic chiasmus of love and death, it finally asserts the transcendent power of poetry to bear witness, to join us in a greater communion. Cosmopolitan and local, these triumphs of a 'late style' remind us what poetry is when its mastery allows the irony of existence to walk naked and to exult. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Poetry]

"Sarah Day is clearly a poet who matters, one with the gift of being able to transform the world we know (Veronica Brady)".

Download or read book Ladylike written by Kate Lilley and published by UWA Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kate Lilley has an impressive literary heritage (her mother is Dorothy Hewett) and is regarded as an outstanding poet in her own right. Ladylike is Lilley's second volume of poetry, much awaited after her 2002 debut Versary (Salt Publishing). She mines the areas of her scholarly specialization - the early modern period, as well as contemporary popular culture - and matches these with some of the 20th century's enduring interests, such as psychoanalysis and the figure of Sigmund Freud. At all times, Lilley applies her sardonic humor and mischievous word play to make her dazzling poems.
