If you want to ‘sing and weep’ read Foxline by Chris Mansell (Flying Island 2021). My precious few moments for myself lately have been spent in the sun with this riveting collection where ‘the moon arched like a fox eye;’ where ‘the farmer cuts back in despair’ and the fox ‘sniffs the long dead line of them.’ This book is never still. Delightful foxlines; wrenching foxlines.
It is launched today by Jean Kent at The Shop Gallery, 112 Glebe Point Road, Glebe (2.00-4.00 pm) alongside another seven Flying Fox titles by KA Rees, Steve Armstrong, Robert Edmonds, Myron Lysenko, Irina Frolovo, Ross Donlon, Harold Legaspi. Congratulations to all the poets and poet/publisher Kit Kelen. More info on this event here:
