About the Book

In the first moment after

like a flicker of unwilled seeing,

atmospheres of pleasure and pain.

In this impressive third collection, as with his last book Body-Flame, Michael Heald achieves:

‘a singular, individual feeling for the world … elegant and utterly his own.’ — Australian Book Review.
