The poems in First Light

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The poems in First Light are both playful and intensely personal, combining an interest in language and the sound of words, with a sensual engagement with the world and the experiences of family life.

Some poems are created by 'sampling' from other writers; others test the tipping point between poetry and prose in small narrative 'prayers', or stage a dialogue in love letters.

Above all, this is a collection which explores the musicality of language, offering an important contribution to the technical range of Australian poetry, and its lyric possibilities.
