They are also pure lyric. A feeling for the formality of language guides her lines through a music of rhyme, half-rhyme (and quarter-rhyme) and turns found images of this world into blazon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe explores some dark matters— with homages to Goya, through the eyes of his mistress, and to Donne. She has a particular touch with the sensory strangeness in states of extremity; yet the giftedness of life breaks into vision in Holt's poetry with lightness. There is unblinking unamazement at violence; and a lively vein of the erotic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth have a part in the carved meditations of two monologues at the book's centre, 'Unfinished Confession' and 'Long Sonnets of Leocadia'. Their scope of knowledge and understanding, with flourishing irony in the one and a just-smiling humanity in the other, seems effortlessly summoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMan Wolf Man\u003c\/em\u003e was awarded the 2009 Kenneth Slessor Prize in the NSW Premier's Literary Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431528710380,"sku":"9780977578771","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780977578771.jpg?v=1774557604","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/man-wolf-man-by-lk-holt-9780977578771","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
