Friendly Street New Poets 7 PB 98 PP 210 x 140 1862545677 $16.95 Poetry APN 9781862545670 Wakefield Press Kate Deller-Evans’ poetry is sure-footed and imbued with a sense that she knows exactly what she is doing and achieves precisely these intentions in poems that are surprising, moving, charged with emotion and beautifully wrought. Jim Puckridge’s poems haunt the reader with both his return to the past and the journey back to the present. Set on the west coast of South Australia the poems breathe with ‘Oceans of the marvellous’; resonate with dirt roads and ‘the skein of country’; are corwded with autumn storms and the cry of birds. Melanie Duckworth’s poems have a luscious dream-like quality, engaging the reader in her search for poetic meaning and thought. Her search for the numinous throughout the poems is direct and satisfying – a rare and quite lovely engagement with the divine she manages with both skill and awe. Also available: |
