Condition: New.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Off Limits features toads and torched pubs, and the hidden lives of foxes. The title poem suggests spaces that are barred, out of bounds. By extension, the collection probes underground mindscapes and the buried lives of others. Lifts manhole covers, shines a spotlight on the ways the human heart enacts rebellion. Tunnel rats skateboarding in Sydneys drains. Cavers making erotic forays into the forbidden White Bay Power Station. Developers eying off iconic buildings. These poems capture the desperation of commuters trapped on motorways, of long-distance lovers navigating desire between hot chilli sauce and Arizona landscapes. This is the territory of space travel and robots, the wonders of biomimicry and the transcending of our limitations to learn from animals. Wryly ironic about humanitys dream of reinventing itself on other planets, the poet resists the trashing of the one we inhabit. This is poetry of passionate engagement, clear-eyed and firmly earthed. 'Wakeling is the skeptic arsonist; sharp-eyed seer of the under things of places you thought you knew. Here she burns the words to see their lights. Watch your step.' Chris Mansell Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A rare combination of elegance and punchiness is at the heart of the poetry in this collection. Louise Wakeling's world is one in which "turbulence gets around", "words disappear/like dwindling rain over parapets" and the complexities and vulnerabilities involved in being alive merge with the richness and occasional spikiness of the natural world. It may not be possible to hug a Saguaro, but then again, it might be. Off Limits offers us one fine poem after another.- Ross Gillettsome give (cactus) a wide berth.handle them gingerly? you better.they're prickly and quirky as a room full of poets.This is a brilliantly bristling & idiosyncratic collection of Sydney poetry (with an eye to the world). And as it shells through the detritus of place, a glinting midden is unearthed.
