They contribute to two on-going sequences, \u003ci\u003eAllotments\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBlue Hills\u003c\/i\u003e, which alludes to the long-running domestic radio serial of the same name.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are made up of the brief haiku-like poems that Duggan has made his own: impressions, mysterious conjunctions, oddities and contradictions, the small details that express large forces, as in his observations of the landscape, the weather, domestic and suburban settings. In the final section, \u003ci\u003eAfterimages\u003c\/i\u003e, Duggan offers descriptions of paintings and comments on artists, and sometimes imaginary constructions of what a particular artist might have done, but the real point is to create poems which stand like art works in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46867094077598,"sku":"ADS-9781925818468","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925818468.jpg?v=1779429762","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925818468","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
