Earth Hour
Earth Hour | David Malouf
7 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
We sit in the warm dark watching container-ships ride on blue-black moonlit glitters. After long journeying arrived at the high tide of silence, after talk. David Malouf's new collection comes to rest at the perfect, still moment of 'silence, following talk' after its exploration of memory, imagination and mortality. With elegance and wit, these poems move from profound depths to whimsy and playfulness. As Malouf interweaves light and dark, levity and gravity, he offers a vision of life on 'this patch/ of earth and its green things', charting the resilience of beauty amidst stubborn human grace.

A collection of elegantly gentle poems, many that I felt dealt tenderly with old age. I read them late at night and they left me in a state of calm repose.

How beautiful ... and sensual ... and sexual is this...

This one is even lovelier, about our life story and the need to have it mean something to someone.

Reminds me of Bruce Dawe's "Life-cycle".

Radiance: I think it is about death and the amazing way people still linger with us through items after they have passed.
