(Paperback)

This is an important and timely book from a mature, perspicacious voice. Phyllis Perlstone shows us a Monash behind the image on the $100 bank note: the engineer, innovator, man-about-town, husband, father, warrior, tactician; his love affairs and vanities; the prejudice he encounters and regards as 'strange dislike'.

(Paperback)

This is poetry of transformations and conversions: like mass energy, so time into memory, landscape and thought. As sparkling as the light that fills them, these splendid and original poems create as they reveal the connectedness of everything.

(Paperback)

As the title of this book suggests, these poems are concerned with the way in which language can thicken our experience, even as that experience becomes attenuated through age and through an increasing distance from a complex and alienating modern urban environment.
