In it he moves back to the Deception Bay of his childhood to explore questions of time, memory and continuity, and in a series of Odes towards the end of the book he turns to music and to Italy for their sustaining images of wholeness. The centre of the collection, "The Crab Feast", is a lyrical-dramatic attempt to recover from disruption the essential kinship of man and beast and to affirm the unity of the created world. ***David Malouf was born in Brisbane. He has lived in England and now divides his time between Australia and Italy. Besides three earlier collections of poetry, he has published two novels. Of his recent novel, "An Imaginary Life," Alan Brien wrote in the Sunday Times: "This meticulously well-told tale --- is quiet, intense, low key but hypnotic in its gripping accumulation of detail, its gradual unwrapping of human reality amid what at first seems a barbarian and unknowable environment."' (Quotes taken from the back cover) ***A very good copy of David Malouf's first poetry collection to be published in the UK. There is no hardback equivalent published in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Christopher McKimmie (Cover design) (ilustrador).…
