Description

From the Montana Dime Store of his native America to Phnom Penh to Victoria Street, Melbourne, MacCarter navigates the world, seeking not just the sounds, tastes and textures that characterise its parts, but the emotional sustenance that we all hunger for. This is highly tuned poetry of words and emotions that has us drunk and spinning', or smiling at the thought of the various pleasures life has in store for us.'The poetry of Kent MacCarter maps the city like a drum beating out its sounds, and an eye that knows both its lights and shadows.'
