I've surrendered your plates
summoned the wreckers
now let me pull just one last poem
from your remains.
Steve Brock's third volume of poetry travels across place and time, from a backyard in Adelaide to the literary cafes of Buenos Aires. Conversational and restrained, the collection unfolds against a backdrop of grief, revealing everyday life with tenderness and wit. In dialogue with a cast of poets and friends, these poems draw on references across traditional and contemporary literature - as well as art, culture, philosophy and language. Sometimes wistful, sometimes wry, Out of Season is a rich collection from an accomplished Adelaide poet.
