| DESCRIPTION |

The second of Brown's major late 90s collections."Crossed impulses towards both aphorism & lyric mark the poetry of Pam Brown, & playfulness without escapism or irrelevance - a kind of intransigence - that can seem clear-eyed elegy, regret, humour - & critique, offered not as essay but as reflex & engagement. The Australian Book Review referred to her"distilled sense of humour", the Sydney Morning Herald to her"unteachable accuracy of tone". Right both times. Lauded in Australian Book Review for its uncompromising clarity & intelligence. Other titles by Brown are of course in stock. |
