poems about life

is a very satisfying read and Peter Macrow is to be congratulated for his choice of poems that resonate with one another in profound and at times unexpected ways. A poem beckonseagerly I reach for itbeyond the mind’s edge. Jennifer Furst’s stanza from her poem ‘Five Seven Five’ could easily describe the effect on the reader of many of the poems in this anthology. The theme of is as it turns out the landscape of death and grief in all its mystery and everyday human detail. In exploring the experience of death many of the poems here ponder that aspect most difficult to verbalise but paradoxically present nonetheless: the sense defined by as Liz Winfield puts it in her poem: ‘after the fall’; or an as in Jennifer Furst’s other poem: ‘To Kate As She Leaves Us’; or grief as symbolised by a creaking blue door in Megan Schaffner’s war poem: ‘Every Day a Blue Door’. The featured poet in is Anne Kellas whose poetry I always reach for eagerly. These central poems are the anthology’s meta-physical thread: their ethereal philosophical quality takes us even further into this essentially enigmatic space leaving us to meditate on as in her poem: ‘Journey to my son July 2006’. We accompany Anne feeling my ways through words as she attempts to grasp the essence of that uncanny absence we each experience in different ways after someone close to us has died and we become as Anne suggests Death can also teach us that living the moment matters. And so to the other poems in the anthology that celebrate some of life’s intriguing patterns. As Jenny Barnard writes in her poem ‘Deep Song’: World is our making/ tears bones art laughter shadows. like most good anthologies has its share of poems that celebrate the energy of the natural world: here our gaze is directed to winter seaweed light herons insects: writes Richard Hillman in his poem: ‘When It’s Too Hot to Play’ and we can easily imagine a certain kind of summer intensity; while Sally Clarke vividly describes Spiders stitching carport to pergola jacaranda to hills hoist in her poem ‘Spider’. Human domesticity is detailed in settings that tell of street life the world of children and the secret forgotten things found behind wardrobes. Venturing outwards other poems tell us stories about Bollywood life in a psychiatric hospital and the local swimming pool as a place of sexual awakening. The life of poetry in which as Anne Morgan cheekily proclaims is also explored as is the life of art as portrayed by Christiane Conesa-Bostock in her poem ‘Painters or Models’. All good poetry celebrates language rob walker’s poem: ‘shall I compare thee’ is a clever and amusing examination of contemporary vernacular at its most abstract. I read this poem out loud a few times with great enjoyment and wondered what a person learning English for the first time might make of it. It would be a great performance piece. There are many lines from that beckon and stay to grow into something that settles deep within you as you read and re-read. I encourage you to buy a copy in the hope that you will enjoy them as much as I did. Congratulations to all those involved in who made this latest anthology so special. north of line somewhere in Elizabeth Street where the latte runs out...

It is not the wind that decides which direction the ship goes;Its the sails; how they are tied and how they are maneauvered.

Dont go where life drive you……Built own way n drive your life on that wayyyy We should understand that we are controlling our life and not fate therefore we should make rational decisions and stop blaming God for every bad happens in our life. We are the only responsible since whatever wrong happens in our lives is due to the wrong decisions we make… Yes…it is true. If at the time of happiness we did not ask “why did you choose me”…at the time of sorrow we should not ask the same…but at times the burden becomes so heavy… Ahh yes fate…But one displace did not see the coral reef and crashed and sank. The other made it safely to its destination after an extended trip through a storm which made everyone seasick vowing never to sail on the sea again… Fate has been tied to the direction of the sail. Which way you point is upto you and what to expect on the way and what is at the end of destination is not upto you. its still ur FATE which takes you where you have to be…..!!
