Notes

  • Author's note (p.89): The Hive: this poem was suggested to me by an article by Kevin Kelly, 'Hive Mind', from Insect Lives, ed. Erich Hoyt and Ted Schultz (New York, John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1999), pp.147-155. I have adapted some images and narrative. The image of the honey running down the arm like thin, warm blood is directly quoted from Kelly.

    'The third in Braziller's Series of Australian Poets, Judith Beveridge engages the world in ways that open up larger perspectives and deeper understandings. As the critic Clive James notes, Beveridge s work displays unfailing dignity of movement and quiet splendour. Whether in relation to the natural world around us or to our inner world of intellect and emotion, Beveridge s poems call us to account, exalting our capacity for knowledge and insisting upon the pleasures and responsibilities of attentiveness."'
