Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. John Brydon - Voyages to Another PlanetOn subsequent readings emerge the fine but exact threads of contact between each poem. The author shows much lyricism and imagery powerful to the extent that it belies the paucity of words used to achieve it. The poems are serious, the collection serious, but there is no darkness here, rather an openness from inherent strength.Mike Hopkins - Mistaken for a Real PoetHere is the sardonic and wry mixed with the sincere and heartfelt. When things go further into satirical mode, it turns out to be the poet himself held up for a cutting or frank touch. There is art here as well as artfulness, in a collection showing a literate skill in poem construction, imagery and approach.Simon J. Hanson - Glowing in the DarkStrong and able form is employed rigorously throughout these poems. No words are wasted . the author has an idea for a poem and works it with dexterity and aplomb. On a second and third reading, I found further depth, a professional, tested flowing style from poem to poem.'In the end, three manuscripts had to be selected as finalists . As to whether a collection worked as such, it was a matter of the parts producing a result together, as well as one in their own right. That is where a collection comes to the fore, by possessing that interwoven outcome, in addition to that of each individual poem.' - John Miles In the end, three manuscripts had to be selected as finalists As to whether a collection worked as such, it was a matter of the parts producing a result together, as well as one in their own right. That is where a collection comes to the fore, by possessing that interwoven outcome, in addition to that of each individual poem.' - John Miles Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Louise McKenna - A Lesson in Being MortalThis is the work of a writer who revels in language and what it can do. The poems take journeys, they move, they are aware of their geography as poems, as well as the world's geography, its noise and silence, its little and large histories.Lynette Arden - A Pause in the ConversationThese insightful and alert poems deal with the everyday - in its beguiling mix of mundanity and strangeness. There is also a sense of something hard-won, of a courage in living and writing that can face 'the end game' while digging for 'a new beginning'.Sher-ee Furtak-Ellis - Natural InterventionThese poems are challenging and immediate; they pull no punches. They are full of jagged energy, of rhyme and beat, but also lyric imagery. This is about some hard experience, about choices you make and live with, about anger and grace, despair and celebration.'I was looking for writers offering the reader something more dynamic in language, so that below the last line of the poem something is still happening. In the end I chose the following three manuscripts . these were the ones that stayed in the mind, that insisted, the ones that I could not let go.' - Jill Jones 'I was looking for writers offering the reader something more dynamic in language, so that below the last line of the poem something is still happening.
