Nothing is ever obvious or contained', Ivy Ireland asks, 'How can I write \/ a lyric poem about the microneedle in the gargantuan multiverse?' Yet, in a book replete with angels, devils, evolutionary theory, astro-physics, mythology, magpie song, winter flowers, ghost gums, strangler figs, human love and human fear, this is what she does. Never obvious or contained, Porch Light is its own multi-verse of ideas, speculations and puzzlements. It swings from abstract terminology to idiomatic vigour, from doubt to joy, from mind to body. This is exciting writing, exciting reading.\" - Brook Emery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Porch Light is an ambitious, intelligent and deft collection of poems. Ireland walks assuredly through the complex terrains of physical laws and balances, contemporary mysticism, pop-science and states of performed embodiment. This book believes utterly in the ability of human imaginations to make outlandish, seductive connections between worldly 'facts' and other-worldly possibilities.\" - Kate Fagan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Graceful and bold, these poems commute between the celestial and the earthly, between angelic knowledge and human experience, courting the ineffable in a seductive, sensuous voice that James Merrill would have loved.\" - Kim Cheng Boey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivy Ireland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922186716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922186713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puncher \u0026amp; Wattmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.22d","brand":"Ivy Ireland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440124539135,"sku":"9781922186713","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_985d997e-4522-43be-a248-2d7ecfae6dec.jpg?v=1777180415","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/porch-light-ivy-ireland-9781922186713","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
