Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "He seems tostart writing a poem and then becomes shocked, stunned, by a word he's just putdown, unable to go past it, as if discovering the letters for the first time,as if the poem has somehow written him." Kirsten Krauth, The AustralianJam StickyVision is the successor to Luke Beesley's h…ighly-regarded third book ofpoetry, New Works on Paper, publishedby Giramondo in 2013. The poems in this collection blend observation, memoryand anecdote with particular interest in American film, rock music, visualarts and poetry, and the way they inhabit the poet's everyday life incontemporary Melbourne. They create 'an uncanny universe', which hoverssomewhere between the real world and that of the poet's imagination, characterisedby surprising encounters and fleeting details rendered with the utmost clarity,full of intimate disclosures and yet somehow public in its openness, whereeverything is animated by liveliness objects, sensations, colours, even wordsas they appear on the page. As one critic has noted, "Beesley's books make forvery healthy reading. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, the menu not overlyprocessed no greasy late-night noir." As another has written, "his windows open out to an 'other' view, whollywithin our grasp but difficult to articulate".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. New Works on Paper is remarkable for its surreal logic and imagery. Things as familiar as bread and pencils or as strangely menacing as Serena Williams' earring or Keira Knightly's jaw clash with the unrelenting forces of time, desire, and the natural world. The poems are witty and erotic in… their wild energy, surprising, edgy and angular in their shifting perspectives, full of startling disjunctions and mirrorings, and always acutely aware of their own craft."Luke Beesley's collection of poems New Works on Paper . maps cityscapes, scraping through Melbourne's inner-city (Northcote) and Sydney's Bondi. His words often take you on surreal paths of flight, shaping into strange and self-referential swirls, leaving you disoriented but transformed." - The Australian New Works on Paper "Luke Beesley's collection of poems New Works on Paper . maps cityscapes, scraping through Melbourne's inner-city (Northcote) and Sydney's Bondi.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The poems in In the Photograph unfold in domestic and suburban settings. They capture the exact moment of writing: how, from it, possibilities branch out into observation, memory, word play, analogy, fantasy, other artworks and other art forms. Cinema, photography, theatre, painting and musi…c all move freely in and out of the poem's frame.The writing revels in humour and narrative surprise: twists in syntax, jump cuts in time, jump cuts from one category of experience into another. In the Photograph is intimate, familial, often moving; it is also sparklingly clever and alert to the imaginative possibilities that can open out from the minutiae of days.'As lush or dreamy as the poems sometimes are, there's a jittery, jokey, upset the image kitsch-cart motive afoot also.This is a poetry of possibility'. - Michael Farrell, The Australian'The volume's exploration of a hybrid poetic prose is characterised by sometimes light-hearted surrealistic gestures that disrupt narrative expectations, along with a pursuit of ekphrastic modes. It demonstrates a sophisticated awareness of the absurdity of domestic and quotidian life. And the best works make the familiar truly strange, asking readers to recalibrate their perceptions.' - Paul Heatherington, Australian Book Review'In the Photograph intimately explores familial ties and human connections, one thing leading into the next, while embracing the immense and at times playful potential that resides within the seemingly mundane moments of our daily lives.' - Justin Cantrell, Readings Books Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
