Poetry might be said to generate along the seam between inner and outer
language where the notions of either join or part them, on a shoreline
between the conscious and the unconscious mind, a place of phase-change
where a poetic awareness of both states enables creative work.
| 1982 "Homing In" looks at language operating at the interface between
subjective and objective experience. |
 |
| 1984 "Anti Gravity" looks outwards to test language and allow rein to
unruly expressive forces, demanding control of musical elements. |
 |
1986 "Wild Sweets" is concerned with concision in a reference field of
quantum physics.
|
 |
| 1988 "Benzina" continues the meniscus exploration and considers the
behaviour of the benzene molecule. |
 |
| 1990 "Berlin Diary" examines a man-made meniscus in concrete form, with
global awareness. |
 |
| 1993 "Crikey" brings together selected poems from the previous books with
more recent poems indicating an approach to new cultural experience. |
 |
| 2000 "Markings" looks afresh at place and landscape and the transition
between states of experience through some kind of meniscus, in this case
the autoclave, to explore the effect of a new viewpoint on the poetic
language. |
 |
2001 "Axis" selects poems from previous volumes and places them alongside
visual musical ideas demonstrating a unity of theme over thirty years. |
 |
|
2002 "Soundings" deals with acclimatising to place and culture and
considers questions of colonialism in history and language. |
 |
| 2005 "Fire-penny" examines the everyday in the light of the imagined past
and of personal experience. |
