Felicity Plunkett

A Kinder Sea is Felicity Plunkett's masterpiece in the original sense of that term- the work that most fully expresses her gifts. This collection explores the sea as sanctuary, hoard and repository. It is composed of sequences- love letters, elegies, narratives and odes. Plunkett's combination of intensity and range is rare, as is this collection's formal precision and emotional directness. This is an exceptional collection- a break-out work for this gifted poet.

Thirty Australian Poets

Rachael Briggs

Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. "Poems are not dances, not always, or only when they believe themselves to be, but Briggs's high, wild intelligence knows all the steps and all the trip-wires. In the poems' rush and energy, Briggs tugs at the corner of the rug and the loose stitches at its edges, compelling the hook-line-and-sinker fall as you, the reader, tumble headlong, heartstruck, into the fray and frisson of her poems' dazzling address." Felicity Plunkett"
