Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A House by the River journeys through the six years Diane Fahey lived with her mother, Patricia, as her carer, and ends at a point five years after her death. Both the challenges and radiant moments of the relationship of mother and daughter are given enduring form in poems that hold the tension between hope and truth, charting a gradual relief - then loss, and its aftermath. The same life-tide that swept usapart has brought us to this grateful,elegaic love, the hub we turn on - Demeter and Kore becomingeach other, held in a graced affinitybetween loss and loss. Twilight summer.- 'Breath' A House by the River is also, in part, a record of the poet's creative life, sustained by the worlds of art and nature. Along with the garden surrounding her mother's house, Fahey celebrates the wider natural environment of Barwon Hears, opening out - as in Sea Wall and River Light - large perspectives of river, sea and sky, with the presence of birds an unfailing inspiration. But the central power of the book lies in its engagement with the mysteries of healing and spiritual resilience, as Fahey witnesses to the courage and grace of her mother's last years, so leaving a memorable portrait of her. What would I need to know, to wear sunlightas richly, sparsely, as you do now:your face tilted to receive the wind's balm;that look of earthed serenity; bodypoised as a cormorant's, wings outstretched.- 'Garden Portrait' Diane Fahey is one of Australia's foremost poets. She has been the recipient of various poetry prizes and literary grants, as well as of writer's residences in Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Australia. Diane lives in Clifton Springs, a bayside village on the Bellarine Peninsula in the state of Victoria. Her website: A House by the River journeys through the six years Diane Fahey lived with her mother, Patricia, as her carer, and ends at a point five years after her death.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In Glass Flowers, Diane Fahey explores many kinds of space - the enclosed spaces of rooms, art galleries, hospital wards, prehistoric caves, the airy, flowing spaces of gardens, and the sky's infinite life. Her intense engagement with the natural world moves in new directions, 'as we approach the summer years'. While some poems convey the freedom of the present moment - imaged by the long glide of a kelp gull, 'a yielding, shaping gesture' - others invoke the uncanny, as in 'Unearthly' where clouds at sunset, photographed from a space station, send out into space thousand-mile shadows / cutting through that cold radiance, / probing the void. Fahey also directs her gaze at various kinds of creativity - in particular, paintings that explore the inner life of rooms, and self-portraits built from coils and surges of / colour incarnate. The title sequence, based on paintings inspired by the Glass Flowers exhibit at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, combines a far-reaching imaginative ambit with an accent of contemplative calm:And the long stemsseeminglylit from within -they too know the touchof sky-shine, the quixoticlife of clouds.Let's call itthe provisional sublime.Finally, A Death in Winter, a sequence on the life and death of Leo Semanpillai, a Tamil refugee to Australia, brings forward a tragic narrative of oppression endured to the furthest limit of courage and hope, one that is emblematic of our times.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 5.75" x 8.25", is like new. 134 pages. ""In Glass Flowers," Diane Fahey explores many kinds of space - the enclosed spaces of rooms, galleries, hospital wards, prehistoric caves, the airy, flowing spaces of gardens, the sky's infinite life. The collection is pervaded by a sense of the transformational power of nature and of human creativity (there are many depictions of artists and their works). It foregrounds a search for healing and acceptance - at times in the face of intolerable facts, as in a sequence on the life and tragic death of Leo Seemanpillai, a Tamil refugee to Australia. The title poem is based on paintings by Dena Kahan inspired by the "Glass Flowers" exhibit at the Harvard Museum of Natural History.".

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Diane Fahey builds on an already rich body of poetry about birds with this fresh tribute to their exquisite intelligence, grace and splendour as they exist in the wild, and in our immediate sensory world. Vividly, she evokes the lives and contemporary plight of penguins, flamingos and myriad other birds. Sanctuaries offers a composite portrait of the suffering and the resilience, the giftedness in song and, in evolutionary terms, the self-fashioned beauty of birds. Long Moment'Taking in the Vista' Stefan ChristmannSeptember. _ ese emperor penguinshave translated themselves, early,from a colony on sea ice where they paired up,raised their chicks, to this ice shelf.Above a white ocean, the azure of its horizontuned to that deeper blue within the ice,they enhance the stillness,stand amidst a panorama of new light.''As a scientist and specialist on bird biology and behaviour I can say that Diane Fahey is ever so insightful and always correct in even the smallest glimpses of biological or behavioural aspects of a species that she observes.Her poetry is like a brightly lit art gallery where one can stop and feast on each image, invited in. I hope that many will take up the invitation and partake of the unique pleasures of this book and the highlights of celebrating birds generally and native Australian birds specifically.'
