When I Talk to You by Michael Leunig
Breccia is an inspired grouping of poems from celebrated poet, translator, anthologist and essayist, Pierre Joris. Breccia] is a showcase for poems from roughly twenty, sometimes rather fugitive, volumes, written and published during a time when Joris was living as a kind of postmodern nomad. One of the virtues of this in-gathering of work is that it makes clear the extent to which a sense of 'nomadism' - of being intensely in a place because one knows one has already left it - marks Joris' poetry. The sense of immediacy in his work is striking. But the images of weather and shifting light and shade that give so many poems their climate of feeling, always play against a complex flow of conceptual activity and the possibility, but only the possibility, of archetypal permanence. - Don ByrdSince 1965, Michael Leunig has been illustrating and writing for Australian newspapers. His work has been widely published internationally and adapted for television, theater, and radio in Australia. The Curly Pyjama Letters, Everyday Demons and Angels, The Lot, Ramming the Shears, Brief Notes from the Long History of Happiness, Weird Creature, and Why Dogs Smell Each Other's Tails are only a few of his works.
