Notes

  • Epigraph: It’s all very well to read and write. But you can go too far. They talk about what is ‘right’ and ‘honest’ but people look down at their plates if you say something is beautiful.

    . – Kirsten Farrell, The Vivisector Oracle (performance and multimedia work, 2015), based on a passage in Patrick White’s The Vivisector.

    The quote used as the epigraph and skeleton for this poem was allocated to me during a personal reading of The Vivisector Oracle conducted in March 2015 by Kirsten Farrell.

    'Prose poetry is a resurgent literary form in the English-speaking world and has been rapidly gaining popularity in Australia. Cassandra Atherton and Paul Hetherington have gathered a broad and representative selection of the best Australian prose poems written over the last fifty years.

    'The Anthology of Australian Prose Poetry includes numerous distinguished prose poets-Jordie Albiston, joanne burns, Gary Catalano, Anna Couani, Alex Skovron, Samuel Wagan Watson, Ania Walwicz and many more and documents prose poetry's growing appeal over recent decades, from the poetic margins to the mainstream.

    'This collection reframes our understanding not only of this dynamic poetic form, but of Australian poetry as a whole.' (Publication summary)
