He covers an equally wide range of experience: family and childhood, love and jealousy, and quietly metaphysical encounters with the energies of land, sea, sky, and weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensibility revealed in these poems is visionary, warm, and often humorous. Here are the best poems produced in the last ten years by a writer committed to a poetry of intensity, complexity, and clarity—a rare trio of qualities based on a strong rhythmic life and an ability to go deep in search of the uniquely true image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"These are brave poems that take off into unknown spaces. So deftly phrased, they make the timeless intimate, and the clouds, winds, beaches, and rivers timeless.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Catherine de Saint Phalle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It's as if 'the branches of the earth were holding us up' in this elemental poetry of such warmth and elegance that, in the end, one is simply blown away.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Paul Croucher\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"These are poems that take us to the limit. Gillett's poetry embraces the elements and our own frailty as we intersect with the world and each other. Whether set in a boy's bedroom or a blustery beach, this poetry allows us to be there, attuned to sounds and textures and the great movements of the human heart.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Anne Gleeson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461592039660,"sku":"9781925780260","price":27.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781925780260-the-mirror-hurlers.jpg?v=1774972531","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-mirror-hurlers-by-ross-gillett-9781925780260","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
