Exhibit by Judy Johnson
$10.00 AUD & GST Free
In these poems the external world is used as a mirror for the internal, emotional landscape. By weaving together these inner and outer threads, thereby making new connections, Johnson redefines the familiar so that it becomes once again strange and convincing. Short, sharp pieces drawn from abiding concerns with family, death and love contrast with longer poems which are historical narratives addressing issues of lasting ethical significance.
Of previous books:
‘This is a poetry both worldly and refined.’ Judith Beveridge
‘Johnson explores the complex interplay between the external world and the inexpressible, often intolerable inner world we carry with us.’ Peter Boyle.
‘Johnson’s poetic voice has an exacting edge to it, demanding our attention, inciting unease. The cool polish of the surface tension, the glint of something barbarous rising from the depths.’ Jennifer Compton
