Nervous Arcs

Front Cover
Spinifex Press, 1995 - Literary Criticism - 239 pages
Jordie Albiston's collection of poetry documents the complex world of music and memory, history and art, from the perspectives of such figures as Frida Kahlo, Emily Dickinson, the witches of Salem, Ahab and Frankenstein. Voicing the unspoken languages of the body, these poems aim to negogiate the corporeal narratives of anorexia, abortion, conception and desire with a tension between content and form. Diane Fahey's collection explores diverse settings in Venice, Scotland and Australia. She is also the inner traveller, revisiting sites of trauma and hard-won knowlegde in youth and adult life.
