Always alert to \"terrible Aphrodite\" in their swing between blazon and contreblazon, they make \"pauses in transit\" with great precision of image and feeling. Subtle and confronting at the same time, these are the fruits of a startling talent.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTracy Ryan, poet, winner of Western Austalian Premier's Book Award\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA superb poetic exploitation of the intersections between language, silence and the ineffable.
