Sommario/riassunto |
|
From the Winner of the 2005 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for poetryThere is a goblet of lichenfor the sun to feed fromand a single wild iriswith a mind so oldthat it came before inventionIts condition is perfectIt rests perfectly betweenour hands? from ?Wild Iris"MTC Cronin's poems - expansive and intimate, dynamic and reflective - blaze with electrifying vision. Writing with honesty and wit, grace, and the courage to strip away illusions, she explores surfaces, interiors, myths and mysteries through a kaleidoscope of flowers - dandelions, impatiens, roses, azaleas, flowers real and imagined. Suffused with awe and wonder, these poems unveil 'urgently, now, before us, the flower, the thing'. . |
