💫BOOK SPOTLIGHT✨️
Not one, not two, but THREE, Malouf modern classics released in paperback for the first time.
'Typewriter Music', 'An Open Book' & 'Earth Hour'.
💛'Typewriter Music' begins with a memory of new love – with ‘grace unasked for, urgencies that boom under the pocket of a shirt’ – and ends in the intimate territory of the long-familiar relationships that define our lives as we grow old. This volume is marked by a breadth of intelligence, stepping lightly among the objects of our lives and the wonder of everyday encounters, and then journeying across the globe, in a flight of music, imagination, history and language.
💙'An Open Book' has been specially updated with new and previously unpublished poems for this paperback edition. 'An Open Book' distils wise intelligence of a world in flux, reminding us of the beauty of the natural world and the importance of gentle reflection. These are poems about living, and about the dynamics of what escapes and what remains.
💚'Earth Hour' demonstrates an intimate sense of place and language, evoking both the charm and power of the natural world, 'Earth Hour' comes to rest at the perfect, still moment of ‘silence, following talk’. Interweaving light and dark, levity and gravity, this timeless collection offers a vision of life on ‘this patch/of earth and its green things’, charting imagination and mortality, and the resilience of beauty amidst stubborn human grace.
