Prickly Moses : Poems Paperback / softback
by Simon West
Part of the Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets series
Paperback / softback
Description
Compelling poems that celebrate language as it encounters the nameless variety of the natural world, from Australia to ItalyAn uncanny blend of the external and the intimate has been a hallmark of Simon West’s poetry for nearly twenty years.
In this new collection, the Australian poet and Italianist delights in the transforming and endlessly varied powers of naming and speaking.
West’s intensely regional focus stands in dialogue with Europe and antiquity.
Landscapes reveal the tangle of their historical dimensions, as the rivers of both the Goulburn Valley in southeastern Australia and the Po Valley in northern Italy merge and flow into the wider currents of the Southern Ocean.
Again and again, language and the senses throw themselves into the nameless riot of the world, from eucalypts and clouds to a medieval bell tower and the sounds a pencil makes as it crosses a page.
