AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In Air Variations Jennifer Harrison offers beautifully crafted reflections and reveries, quietly spoken images, descriptions and observations of daily life: gardening, relationships, family, friends, ageing and illness. Through a precise use of poetic form and incisive imagery, these ‘twenty-two ephemera’ probe beneath the surface, leaving the reader with a feeling of loss, loneliness and lament. The quotidian is taken up with careful, tender thoughtfulness, discovering rather than defining, seeking answers but allowing the answers to change, to fly free, to not settle too hard and fast. A gentle curiosity pervades the collection, inviting a contemplation of the liminal.' (Publication summary)
