Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Many poems in this collection explore the intrusions of 'the wild' into daily life,through memories, in illness, and in places that you've lost or left behind. Dougan isinterested in the ways in which the past re-enters the present, particularly through thesecrets of family life, in all kinds of atavism, and in pockets of wildness in the suburbsand the city which are a source of liveliness and a dark sort of energy. Her poemsfeature old houses, ruins, revisited places; they focus on the bonds between thegenerations, between children and adults, humans and animals, and humans and thephysical world. The title of the collection refers broadly to these ties, which impose asense of guardianship on those who are bound by them. In contrast to the wildnessthey recognise, the poems themselves seek to tread lightly they aspire to quietnessand reticence, to cumulative rather than immediate effects, and to sustaining arelatively natural and unobtrusive voice.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'Dougans elliptical work hints at a life that hovers just beyond our comprehension; in dreams, tales, the past, in the imagination of the poet. This other world surrounds even the most domestic of the poems.' Winners citation, West Australian Premiers Poetry AwardLucy Dougans new collection draws on and is alive to the mysterious zone that Surrealist artist Paul Nash called the Monster Field: the place glimpsed from a car at speed which cannot be found again easily, and which opens up a space between the everyday and the occult as it almost slides past your eyes. Like a monster, elusive and ubiquitous a poem is a showing of what is both unsettling and familiar. In the world of everyday perception, mundane or discarded objects, fleeting scenes and inconsequential places can become unexpectedly charged with momentary significance and rise up as weird extremities in the field of the ordinary. Dougans ongoing concerns the hidden or unperceived, things out of place, the intrusion of wildness into ordered spaces, in art and film, the shifting relationship between past and present are deepened in this new collection by the disorientations of middle age: in experiences of survival, difficulty, and failure; in the presence and pressure of mystery; and in her conviction of what is sustainable in the making of things and in living.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Zwicky is one of the world's finest poets; her sophistications of form and theme remind one of Akhmatova, Szymborska, Adrienne Rich and William Blake. With poise and control, she tracks the personal encounter with the weight of history and the obligation to declare a position. - JOHN KINSELLAIn her poetry, Zwicky, the ex-concert pianist, technically adroit, dramatic and profoundly serious, is there alongside the joker, the edgy ironist making wry asides against the world, patriarchy and herself. Her formal poems sit easily beside her mostly short-lined, tightly wrought free verse. Her cadences are a delight. - KATHERINE GALLAGHER Zwicky's poems deal with such over-whelming intimations of mortality-and much more than intimations-while striving for and attaining a breathtaking authority and stubborn subjectivity of voice. - LYN MCCREDDENShe has her eye on all creation. - GEOFFREY DUTTON Zwicky is one of the world's finest poets; her sophistications of form and theme remind one of Akhmatova, Szymborska, Adrienne Rich and William Blake.
