Elena Gomez Reviews Broede Carmody and Holly Isemonger
A book-length poem can offer the best of two worlds: the thematic and spatial breadth and depth of an epic-style length on the one hand, the delineation of units and fragments via the physical space of the page on the other. The poem can be read as one long piece, but also becomes chunks, giving the reader gentle permission to find their own flow without the designation of titles or sections.

Grenadier
I pour a blush of wine into my housemate’s glass. Orange tiles & succulents in jars. Rolling through sulfur is hard when you’re stuck in other muck. There can be too much adrenaline stim. As an example, what will we …

Striation
Post-turbulence I hug the road’s blue curve. Mid-morning melt— lakes twisting other lakes. I am blind to the periphery: you describe rocks, undergrowth, a scribble of trees. A reindeer bows into slush. For the first time in months I am …

Blue
for Kat Muscat Three years on and your husk-sweet voice so close I could lean back and touch it. Cigarette spirals and eggshell blue. Winter sunlight skidding sideways gutters heave with rain. I am knee-deep in a wide-cut river arms …

20 Poets, a Free Anthology from Cordite Books
The geographic barriers that can, at times, hinder Australian literature are no longer relevant, and poetry communities around the world must be enlightened by the commanding, demanding and exciting trajectory of contemporary Australian poetics.

Introduction to Broede Carmody’s Flat Exit
A first book of poems needs no introduction, being its own forerunner. As a consequence, this note merely states the obvious: that Broede Carmody is a young writer with a great lyrical talent.

I placed a sprig of rosemary at your feet
Grief is finding bits of Tim Tams in your bed even though you haven’t slept there for two days. I want to move to a place where they will laugh at my dingo accent. Pine needles pressed to cold cheeks …

Hunter-gatherers
for Amber Beilharz We wrestle bone-shapes from sand too quick to crumble. The landscape heaves and trembles at your touch. Air bruising from the wet brush of our words. I pry molluscs from shallow rock pools and you liberate them …

Postcard from Oulu
You pull faces at a sun that doesn’t quite set. The wind speaks Scandinavian tongues and the trees shiver and sway—hypnotic waltz in the mind. Lakehouses creak in tune with your grandmother’s bones; scent of pine intoxicating every stretch of …
