Porch Light

Author: Ivy Ireland
Publisher: Puncher and Wattmann
Category: Poetry Books, Poetry By Individual Poets
Age Group: 15+
Book Format: Paperback

In the poem 'Nuclear', after stating '...Nothing is ever obvious or contained', Ivy Ireland asks, 'How can I write / a lyric poem about the micro-needle in the gargantuan multiverse?' Yet, in a book replete with angels, devils, evolutionary theory, astro-physics, mythology, magpie song, winter flowers, ghost gums, strangler figs, human love and human fear, this is what she does. Never obvious or contained, Porch Light is its own multi-verse of ideas, speculations and puzzlements. It swings from abstract terminology to idiomatic vigour, from doubt to joy, from mind to body. This is exciting writing, exciting reading.-Brook Emery
