| Far-Flung traverses multiple terrains â home and upheaval, our connection to the environment and to people, our relation to the past, place and placelessness. From â the Kilmog slumping seawardâ to â the bracts and the berries and the leavesâ of the Mackenzie country; the moth (â courier of bloom powderâ ); the wind that grows like an animal and â the great loneliness / of grassâ â Gallagher is in conversation with the natural world. Her lyric poems, marked by attentiveness, have an earthy, intuitive music and a linguistic clarity. Gallagher moves easily from the ecological and personal concerns of contemporary life to the nineteenth-century Irish migrants and the historic legacy of the Seacliff Lunatic Asylum. The multi-voiced, dramatic sequence â Seacliff Epistlesâ draws on a rich variety of poetic forms: from lyric to prose poem, parable to riddle, monologue and letter poem. Bill Manhire called Rhian Gallagherâ s poetry â one of the quiet, astonishing secrets of New Zealand writingâ . Far-Flung sees the poetâ s lyric exploration broaden considerably in an assured new work. |
