About the Book

‘Philip Salom’s poems … make up an exceedingly impressive and interesting body of work and engage the reader intellectually and emotionally in a new way … a vision and voice that seems original … (his) is a rich imagination, sometimes seemingly madcap, but always wonderfully controlled’ — Herbert C Jaffa, New York University.’

‘… an almost unfailingly dazzling group of new poems … an astounding meditation on memory and perception’ — Margot Schilp, Verse.

‘Salom is a poet of full-on intensity; every word works … (his) poems are necessarily dramatic affairs, though the drama is in the detail, not in the action — in rich colouring and elaborated texture, in the sudden opening of spatial and temporal perspectives, in a poetic language dense with metaphors and allegorical attributions …’ — Ivor Indyk, Australian Book Review.

In these poems Salom writes with great intensity of discovery and loss. Sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, the poems are disciplined and exciting.
