We cannot tell the encroacher from the encroached. Discontinuities in time and space, along with playful short-circuiting, produce exhilarating shivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Bennet is an astute observer of people, places, and things; however, we find ourselves surprisingly at home on this border between plausible narrative and the wilder territories of the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis selection reflects Bennet's full range for the first time, beginning with poems from the early 1980s and drawing on seven collections published since then, including his major sequences: \u003ci\u003eThe Long Pack\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJigger Nods\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFolly Wood\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBobby Bendick's Ride\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLandscape with Psyche\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLadderedge and Cotislea\u003c\/i\u003e. New work introduced here centres on another major and powerfully imagined sequence—a colloquy which bridges three centuries to evoke the voice of the Quaker James Nayler, who was abominably punished for 'horrid blasphemy'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471305064684,"sku":"9781780376554","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781780376554-nayler-folly-wood.jpg?v=1775237544"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/peter-bennet.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
