Fetch Collected Poems, 1943-1995 Imagined By Gwen Harwood Copy

through my copy again, really enjoying reexperiencing the poems on motherhood now I can directly relate, Not too shabby kinda gay soooo it apparently took me a whole year to read this, poetry is just a thing you have to be im the headspace for and today i finally was, poetry's for januarys It feels mean giving this three, when parts of it I enjoyed a lot and it meant something to me to read it, but the best poems started for me at around page, and much of the last sections were poems written to read at functions, all of which read like poems written to read at functions, so it was a bit of a slog.
The more introspective poems, including the pastorals written at Kettering/Oyster Cove, I liked the most, This definitive collection is a bumper edition of overpages of published and previously uncollected poems, many illuminated by the

poets own notes.
Harwoods pseudonymous selves have made literary history, most famously perhaps as Walter Lehmann whose Bulletin acrostic fk” once deciphered rocked the Establishment, This collection is the product of diligent research by Harwood scholars Alison Hoddinott and Gregory Kratzmann, both longtime friends of the poet, Their editorial introduction places Gwen Harwood, who died in, among the most formidable literary talents of our age, Roll back, you fabulous animalbe human, sleep, Ill call you upfrom waters dazzle, wheatblond hills,clear light and openhearted roses,this days extravagance of bluestored like a pulse beat in the skull.
