The Other Way Out
The Other Way Out opens with the white heat of the tropical north - with a sky so pressing it falls like glass to the ground - and closes with the carved hand of an ancient statue, proffering love and gladness and affirming life. At the heart of the book, a series of imagined monologues attempts to draw language from stone: from a Mt Warning cairn, to the sculptures of Coustou and Rodin, to monuments in Sri Lanka, China, Hollywood and beyond. Grounded in the immediacy of the physical world, these poems are at turns humorous, heated and redemptive, yet always keenly alive.
