Synopsis

. . . wheel my shadow home at the end of the night

it is climbing walls without me . . .

In Volume 6, of A Poetry Archive, Frank Prem continues his direct communication with the reader, telling his stories directly to you.

. . . one hundred faces etched

in stone

the Maui of these mountains

gaze at me . . .

A Poetry Archive revisits Prem's early days as a poet. Volume 6 includes work written between 2014 and 2016, and further develops his distinctive poetic voice, including a fascination with Blue-tongued skinks and other backyard lizards, contemplations of The Way, and the stunning impact of a visit to Gariwerd.

. . . when he dons the mask

he is The Lizard

scincidaen snout

raised to the air

a walk

that is both sway

and saunter . . .

Wild Arancini Press is delighted to bring you this wonderful journal of a poet's development.
