Description
Prickly Moses Poems
A new collection by Australian poet Simon West explores childhood experience and Australian ecology and topography. The poems begin with learning to read and write, before expanding outward to explore the landscape, botany, and zoology of Melbourne and Victoria.
The poems are united by their close attention to sound, both on the page and in the world. They offer a meditation on the dual work of the poet: to observe and scrutinize, to translate the natural world into words.
