Both the challenges and radiant moments of the relationship of mother and daughter are given enduring form in poems that hold the tension between hope and truth, charting a gradual grief - then loss, and its aftermath. The same life-tide that swept us apart has brought us to this grateful, elegaic love, the hub we turn on - Demeter and Kore becoming each other, held in a graced affinity between loss and loss. Twilight summer. -'Breath' A House by the River is also, in part, a record of the poet's creative life, sustained by the worlds of art and of nature. Along with the garden surrounding her mother's house, Fahey celebrates the wider natural environment of Barwon Heads, opening out - as in Sea Wall and River Light - large perspectives of river, sea and sky, with the presence of birds an unfailing inspiration. But the central power of the book lies in its engagement with the mysteries of healing and spiritual resilience, as Fahey witnesses to the courage and grace of her mother's last years, so leaving a memorable portrait of her. What would I need to know, to wear sunlight as richly, sparsely, as you do now: your face tilted to receive the wind's balm; that look of earthed serenity; body poised as a cormorant's, wings outstretched. -'Garden Portrait' Diane Fahey is one of Australia's foremost poets. She has been the recipient of various poetry prizes and literary grants, as well as of writer's residencies in Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Australia. Diane lives in Clifton Springs, a bayside village on the Bellarine Peninsula in the state of Victoria.

Starting in a cottage in the north-east, with a long view of the coast, the poet journeys into the further reaches - Lough Derg, Dromore Wood, and the Burren region with its stony but uncannily fertile landscapes, cliffs and shores. 'The Stone Garden' is a resonant, meditative collection of poems presenting intimate glimpses of, and larger perspectives on, the splendours of Clare. Diane Fahey is the author of ten poetry collections and a verse novel, The Mystery of Rosa Morland. The Wing Collection: New and Selected Poems was shortlisted for the 2012 John Bray Poetry Award; Sea Wall and River Light was a winner of the Judith Wright Poetry Award.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51214979367185,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51214981628177,"sku":"NIN9780987403735","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52121441698065,"sku":"NLS9780987403735","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0987403737.jpg?v=1750981870"},{"product_id":"wing-collection-book-diane-fahey-9781921450259","title":"Wing Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wing Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e presents a broad overview of the distinctive contribution Diane Fahey has made to Australian poetry over the course of thirty years.
