|  | Unanimous Night
Publication Date: June 5, 2009"Unanimous Night" is the second full-length collection from Tokyo-based poet Michael Brennan. "Unanimous Night" is an affirming elegy, a love song in recognition of an elsewhere that constantly evolves within and beyond the contemporary world--its horrors and hatreds, its fragility, uncertain truths and knowing--an elsewhere of moments and presence, of love and communion, where language and being, the living and the dead, the natural and the technological, the instant and endless converge, where longing turns through healing to the intimacy of experience, to the...

|  | True Thoughts (Salt Modern Poets)
Publication Date: October 2, 2008| Series: Salt Modern Poets "True Thoughts" follows the success of Pam Brown’s last major collection "Dear Deliria" awarded the NSW Premier’s Prize for Poetry in 2004.

|  | towards a grammar of being
Publication Date: July 15, 2009In the tradition of Dickinson s letter to the world, Julie Waugh has dedicated herself to the poet s scrupulous custom of reflection and self-examination. The result is this poetic self-portrait. What towards a grammar of being delivers, in its high intelligence and tender sensuality, and in its inventive stream-of-verse episodes, is, quite simply, psychology, or what we used to call intuition. This is poetry for poetry lovers who remember when poetry had something to tell us about ourselves and about living the good life, and when reading poetry meant enjoying...
