These colored tesserae, a contrast to the dull sea of roof tiles below. A train rattles in the distance and then Rapallo fades from my memory. At the heart of this exciting debut collection is the impulse to explore: family history in Europe, migration to Australia, the contours of memory and desire. Exquisite lyric and deft narrative illuminate history's mosaics and brilliant shards of lost time.Arts Queensland Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize series.Australian poetry21st centuryAustralian poetry821.4Licari Rosanna1479573MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781707003321An absence of saints3695740UNINA
