Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O could one write as one makes love when all is given and nothing kept, then language might put by at last its coy elisions and inept withdrawals, yield, and yielding cast aside like useless clothes the crust of worn and shabby use, and trust its candour to the urgent mind its beauty to the searching tongue. Gwen Harwood's work is defined by a moving sensuality, a twinkling irreverence and a sly wit.

Download or read book History of the Day written by Stephen Edgar and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Edgar is acknowledged as one of the most elegant and technically astonishing poets currently writing. The poems in History of the Day have an imaginative reach, a grandeur and sweep which lead us through the transfiguring intensities of love to the burdens of loss, grief and horror. They contemplate the fragile nature of consciousness when measured against the immensities as time and space. He engages language at the highest, most sophisticated level. Edgar makes crystalline forms and patterns out of language so that every word glows, catches the light, and illuminates his vision. History of the Day is, quite simply, brilliant.

Download or read book Gwen Harwood written by Stephanie Trigg and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first study of a female author to be published in Oxford's 'AW' series, Stephanie Trigg has produced a superbly readable and highly provocative account of the work of this central and much-loved Australian poet - the 'Tasmanian mum', as she was so often dismissed, who went on to write some of this country's outstanding lyrics. Aware of Harwood's increasing importance, and the current wave of critical and biographical interest in her life and works, Trigg positions her as a testing ground for feminist poetic criticism in Australia. Thus, in an interview, she asks, 'Who is the "Glenn Harwood" to whom I refer when I write about the poetry of a woman who in recent years has become increasingly public, celebrated and accessible?' Noting that much writing about Harwood has been informed, if not blinkered, by her domestic, even grandmotherly persona and modesty, she asks if this is the best critical vocabulary in which to describe or interpret her poetry. Trigg argues that this biographical model, organized around a corpus of works, signed by a known or theoretically knowable subject, has tended to produce something like heroine-worship. Drawing on Foucault, Trigg focuses on Gwen Harwood' as a poetic signature written by the desires and interests of her readers, rather than as the living subject. She notes that such a Foucauldian project sits in some tension with a feminist insistence on women's lives.
