Description:
These poems are about time and memory. Many of them focus on the particular moments of experience that our memories are able to capture and preserve, a process of considerable mystery. In this, his first full-length collection, Graham Wood considers some of the mysteries involved in time and memory. He does this obliquely, in a glancing way, rather than directly. Many of the poems are like snapshots or small movies, often suffused with a quirky humour. Others are more serious in tone and reach, but always retain a lightness of touch.
Brief description: Graham Wood has lived in Sydney for most of his life, after half a childhood in country New South Wales. His poems have been published in Australian and international journals and anthologies, and on a number of poetry websites. Ginninderra Press also published five of his poetry chapbooks over 2021 and 2022.
