Shades Of The Sublime And Beautiful

9781921361098

The new collection by acclaimed local poet John Kinsella contemplates the aesthetic and the transcendent, examining both the natural and the artificial. From the soothing aesthetics of shape and form through to what constitutes 'ugliness' or 'terror', it challenges our preconceptions and often finds the beautiful in the ugly, the ugly in the beautiful, or calm in the tempest, and tempest in the more benign moments.
