About the Book

In the first moment after
that visceral watching inward,
a white bird wavered towards me
like a flicker of unwilled seeing,
and I knew we only dream the
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.
