Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In this remarkable book of place and decades of daily encounters in the natural world, Angela Rockel lays out the ways of describing and understanding she has learned through her life.

The place is southern Tasmania, where she arrived as a young woman from her place of origin, Aotearoa New Zealand. The book is ordered around a monthly set of observations of the weather, of birdlife, mammal life, the life of trees in a forest, and the platypus swimming in the dam. That Angela Rockel is a poet is evident on every page. She writes of the unforgettable meeting with the contingency of things when describing wildfire: all the parts of me ragged in the looming blue of summer, oils going up from the eucalypts, waiting.Following the here and now, and venturing into family history, too, in that elusive search for belonging, Rockel takes us back to Ireland and to Aotearoa New Zealand to track how we live in the natural world and how we might recover from our old habits of exploitation and dominance in landscapes of living.…

The exploration of the Australianlandscape through prose is a core tenet of Australian literature and the UWAPhas been successful in finding a shining example of this in Rogue intensities.This work successfully adds to this canon in a way that extends it and enricheswriting alongside it. 'Rogue Intensities is an uncannily timely work, its aestheticachievement is deeply embedded in urgent concerns of our current moment. It breaksdown the artificial divisions between science, art, creative production andhistory to forge an original perspective and a model of connection between thecreative processes of nature, knowledge and writing. Angela manages to createintimacy with the elements of the observable world and with experiences througha careful detachment, which is akin to scientific record. Rogue Intensities engagesthe reader with what Hayden White termed the great 'pleasure of information'about creatures, the atmosphere, the weather, landscape, seasons, as they are encounteredin everyday life. There is a great joy in this text of discovery - as if writerand reader were encyclopaedists who have been granted permission to wonder atthe world.
