Nothing is ever obvious or contained', Ivy Ireland asks, 'How can I write \/ a lyric poem about the microneedle in the gargantuan multiverse?' Yet, in a book replete with angels, devils, evolutionary theory, astro-physics, mythology, magpie song, winter flowers, ghost gums, strangler figs, human love and human fear, this is what she does. Never obvious or contained, Porch Light is its own multi-verse of ideas, speculations and puzzlements. It swings from abstract terminology to idiomatic vigour, from doubt to joy, from mind to body. This is exciting writing, exciting reading.\" - Brook Emery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Porch Light is an ambitious, intelligent and deft collection of poems. Ireland walks assuredly through the complex terrains of physical laws and balances, contemporary mysticism, pop-science and states of performed embodiment. This book believes utterly in the ability of human imaginations to make outlandish, seductive connections between worldly 'facts' and other-worldly possibilities.\" - Kate Fagan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Graceful and bold, these poems commute between the celestial and the earthly, between angelic knowledge and human experience, courting the ineffable in a seductive, sensuous voice that James Merrill would have loved.\" - Kim Cheng Boey\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47941549031645,"sku":"9781922186713","price":29.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/Rw58GA09Dt9781922186713.webp?v=1779249518","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/porch-light-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
