What bass has boomed tonight
that braids
the hectic fractal of the heart
with stars
‘Here is the poet-as-conjurer- navigating effortlessly between the metaphysical and the sheerly physical, Savige proves how much they are one and the same,’ LUKE DAVIES
‘Savige’s stunning second volume braids the intersections of political histories and intimate love. With craft and commitment he animates the objects of this world to skyrocket effect. Surface to Air is a tough and tender book, it’s just what we need.’ PETER GIZZI
‘In Savige’s world it is the poet who can be 'entrusted with a planet’ because only he can guide the word’s wild power of illumination and shape humanity’s tongue when all other language fails. It is a world that has - marvellously - fallen out of the habit of itself.‘ MTC CRONIN
