The latest collection from one of Australia's foremost contemporary poets, this compilation balances a quiet maturity with a vital energy. Ranging from sonnet sequences to long, lyrical meditations and dramatic monologues to more confessional works, these poems are marked by an almost self-elegiac strain, an unflinching imagining of one's own death, and a sense of love fading.
