The poems in this collection blend observation, memory, and anecdote—with particular interest in American film, rock music, visual arts, and poetry, and the way they inhabit the poet's everyday life in contemporary Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey create 'an uncanny universe', which hovers somewhere between the real world and that of the poet's imagination, characterised by surprising encounters and fleeting details rendered with the utmost clarity. Full of intimate disclosures and yet somehow public in its openness, where everything is animated by liveliness—objects, sensations, colours, even words as they appear on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs one critic has noted, \"Beesley's books make for very healthy reading. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, the menu not overly processed—no greasy late-night noir.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs another has written, \"his windows open out to an 'other' view, wholly within our grasp but difficult to articulate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383880761580,"sku":"9781922146847","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9879593482872.jpg?v=1773385620","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/jam-sticky-vision-by-luke-beesley-9781922146847","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
