About the Book

Poems. This sequence of 64 short poems represent an inquiry on the theme of absence and the complex feelings and associated language and images it gives rise to. Written between 2014 and 2015, partly in Australia, partly in the UK, and in Taiwan and Hong Kong, each one distils a moment in which affections and memories are reawakened towards a person, and places or experiences they are associated with. They record the various ways in which absence in the life of someone present figures constantly as a source of struggle, disquiet, and tension, and figure ways in which this disruption is managed and, partially, pacified.
