Finalist, Governor Generalā s Literary Awards (Poetry)
Shortlisted, Nelson Ball Prize Escaping from the evils of the modern world into the vivid colours of a birdā s plumage, Michael Trusslerā s 10:10 plunges into the mystery and horror of living at the beginning of the Anthropocene. How can there be both terrible violence and extraordinary beauty in the world? How can birdwatching coexist with genocide? How can nature be loved and destroyed all at once? Trusslerā s poetic voice is delightfully fluid: moments and images from movies, aesthetic theory, and animal life collide in each poem, sometimes in a single line. From lyrics to prose, high art to emails, Trussler sifts through the shards of society to seek refuge in the beauty and strangeness of words, the beguiling richness of images, the intensity of the natural world. |
