It also includes \u003cem\u003eepicormic\u003c\/em\u003e, new poems. A feature of the work is her sustained interest in the sequence as a vehicle to inhabit a poetic force field: a mermaid's passage onto land, 'Mothering words', 'A geography of marriage', an interrogation of memory and childhood. In the new poems the poet, who lives beside tall eucalypt forest, is captivated by its post-fire response. And finds evocative language for the coincidental riddles of 'covid time'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems in \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBloodwood\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e speak a profound and wild truth, sung in elegant form...Nicola Bowery's words crack open the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Louise Crisp\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(In Goatfish) \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe sea-maid's tale\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the greatest themed poetic sequences in Australian literature - it is truly remarkable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Pete Hay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003emarried to this ground\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Nicola Bowery's poems are a glorious balancing act: stillness and silence coupled with the strong, sinewy, subversive and ecstatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Adrienne Eberhard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003echild in the wings\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is a stunning achievement...this is incredibly beautiful, resonant, hypnotic writing - spare in diction, fragmentary and dream-like in its framing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Melinda Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 204\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47334178160889,"sku":"9781764120036","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/kQy0xRuJn9781764120036.webp?v=1769648561","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/epicormic-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
