Such an imagist doctrine has always been at the heart of Laurie Duggan's sharp-eyed work, ever since the days when he was at the core of a group who got together at Monash, back in the 1960s.\" -Chris Wallace-Crabbe  Duggan's poetry has the virtue that it never `abandons the local'. Like Paul Blackburn-a poet Duggan manifestly admires-he builds his work out of what he finds in, on or about the premises.\" -Tony Baker, Jacket  \"How ferociously Duggan attends both to the there of the world . . . and the here of writing.\"  -John Latta, Isola di Rifiuti  \"The small poems ... slowly build up to a much larger narrative; a narrative of time and memory, of thinking and looking and being in the world, a kind of history that is happening on the sidelines.\" -Fiona Wright   \"The poems of Allotments and Under the Weather can often seem easily-done, casual jottings but there is a complex pattern behind their conception and an extraordinary quality of poise about their execution. Both books remind us what a remarkable poet Duggan has become.\"   -Martin Duwell","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599541346577,"sku":"GOR013602031","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52133330485521,"sku":"NLS9781848615731","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53493784805649,"sku":"NIN9781848615731","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848615736.jpg?v=1751378396","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/selected-poems-1971-2016-book-laurie-duggan-9781848615731","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
