Description

'This passage of poems treads lightly: a careless reader could fail to hear the dread of history and myth, which are embedded in the sensitive sands of Bennett's phrases...

..In the twist of a moment she flings the sacred into dust, or a bullet into mystic continuum. The poems' Spanish translation is similarly entwined-an echo reading, or a haunting.' -Bonny Cassidy

Reviews

'incantational poetry, delicate and evocative.'-- Anne Elvey, Plumwood Mountain. 'Phosphene is indeed that unusual and perhaps necessary thing in poetry, a successful experiment,' -- Geoff Page, The Sydney Morning Herald.
