The poems are written out of the questions this dividedorientation raises  about what constitutes a home, and how we might find ourway there. Animals have an ability to home that seems both biological andintuitive. Do we have this compass too? In the poems it is the suddenappearance of wild creatures, the shifting waters of sea or lake or river, theway light falls over the scene, which points to what we are driven to hold, butwhich ultimately evades us. Other material, from the poet's own life -including, inevitably, heartbreak - makes its way into the poems as well, sincemany of these emotions arise from a sense of being unhomed or unsettled.\u0026amp;nbsp;Thereis also a fine intelligence at work, calling in mythical resonances, thetestimony of poets and scientists, and the resources of language, to sharpenthe poet's alertness to her surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46867079725214,"sku":"ADS-9781925336207","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925336207.jpg?v=1779429476","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925336207","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
