1 y separately published work icon Waterlines Peter Ramm , Newtown : Vagabond Press , 2022 24719043 2022 selected work poetry 'Waterlines is a collection that inhabits the landscapes of Southern NSW, contemplating the complexities of fathering and older questions of being in ecological, political, and social settings of contemporary Australia. The collection explores the way water serves as a repository of human existence in myth and lore, and by extension to our own individual histories. Here the poems trace the geometries of interiority and place through their themes of loss, parenting, the wisdom of the natural world, and the haunting reality of the transience of life. The collection attempts, as Rilke suggests, to approach nature, 'To try, like the first human being, to say what we see and experience and love and lose.' In many forms, the lyric poems of sestets, haiku, sijo, couplets, and cantos, set out to reframe the traditional pastoral. Peter Ramm's first collection is simultaneously an exploration of inheritance, of being, and transmission; a clear-eyed interrogation of our ecological irresponsibility and what we leave the next generation; and finally, a lovesong for the landscapes and life of southeastern New South Wales.'
