1 y separately published work icon Firefly Zodiac : Selected Poems Fiona McIlroy , Australia : Fiona McIlroy , 2019 20916752 2019 selected work poetry 'The poetry collection called Firefly Zodiac has a focus on the big picture, our planet earth, our galaxy and constellations beyond. Fiona telescopes space and time into our view, giving a fresh perspective on everyday events. Surprise is an element of her poetry, as well as refreshment of the senses. Fiona is passionate about human relationships, and the natural world. She transcends the boundaries between the seen and unseen, tangible and intangible. The reader becomes a space traveller. The poems hover between the terrestrial and the celestial. The energy of each word, line and verse draws us into the line between the material and numinous world.' (Publication summary)
