Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. L K Holt's poems are stories, and eruptions from the midst of story. They are also pure lyric. A feeling for the formality of language guides her lines through a music of rhyme, half-rhyme (and quarter-rhyme) and turns found images of this world into blazon. She explores some dark matters - with homages to Goya, through the eyes of his mistress, and to Donne. She has a particular touch with the sensory strangeness in states of extremity; yet the giftedness of life breaks into vision in Holt's poetry with lightness. There is unblinking unamazement at violence; and a lively vein of the erotic. Both have a part in the carved meditations of two monologues at the book's centre, 'Unfinished Confession' and 'Long Sonnets of Leocadia'. Their scope of knowledge and understanding, with flourishing irony in the one and a just-smiling humanity in the other, seems effortlessly summoned. Man Wolf Man was awarded the 2009 Kenneth Slessor Prize in the NSW Premier's Literary Awards. L. K. Holt's poems are stories, and they are also pure lyric. This collection is winner of the NSW Premier's Awards 2009 Kenneth Slessor Prize. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. All but four of these poems by LK Holt are fourteen-liners: free-verse sonnets if you like-certainly lyrics, but somehow massive. They have elegance, terror, surprising imaginations, humour and extraordinarily disciplined thought. The darting variety that marked her prize-winning first collection has come to a steadier gaze in her second. A nut-shell account of the book's four parts might describe a movement from familial well-being-happy-being-to a concluding psalmic sufferance, through reflections on the survival-feats of boys and men, on the self-presence of young women, and on love. That description catches her intimate touch but not her outreach. Holt's writing shows how the present doesn't escape the weight, or the light, of ancient narratives. History stands inside poems of contemporary dailiness, turning them to half-epic. Patience, Mutiny was awarded the 2010 Grace Leven Prize, along with Petra White's The Simplified World and David Musgrave's Phantom Limb. It was also shortlisted for the 2011 Judith Wright Poetry Prize in the A.C.T Awards.
