{"product_id":"domestic-interior-by-fiona-wright-9781925336566","title":"Domestic Interior","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the poems in \u003ci\u003eDomestic Interior\u003c\/i\u003e were written around the same time as Fiona Wright's award-winning collection of essays \u003ci\u003eSmall Acts of Disappearance\u003c\/i\u003e. They share with that work her acute sensitivity to the details that build our everyday world and hold us in thrall, in highly charged moments of emotional extremity. Anxiety lurks in domestic spaces; it inhabits the most ordinary objects, like a drill bit or a phone charger. It draws our attention to the bruised body and its projecting parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elements of language take on new intensity in a series of 'overheard' poems fraught with their speakers' vulnerability and their attempts at resolution. Wright walks us through the places where this drama unfolds: shopping centres, cafes, hospitals, and bedrooms, in the inner-city suburbs of Sydney where the poet now lives, and the south-west where she grew up, presenting them as sites of love as well as sadness, and succour and strength as well as unease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFiona Wright\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, editor and critic from Sydney.
