Book Overview
A new book of short poems by Australia's master poet Brief, that place in the year when a blossoming pear tree with its sweet laundered scent reinhabits wooden roads that arch and diverge up into its electronic snow city. --"Brief, That Place in the Year" In Poems the Size of Photographs, Les Murray deftly maneuvers through familiar terrain--the Australian people, politics, and landscape--as well as terrain that is harder to render tangible: history, myth, and symbol. As if trying to find the fissure through which to crack open his subject matter, Murray has sharpened his form to an ideogrammatic brevity. Each snapshot-like poem in this volume develops before the reader's very eyes, as the initially observed object or moment in time changes meaning and grows in complexity and resonance line by line.
