Description
Kwame Senu Neville Dawes and John Kinsella's collaborative poetry collection is a powerful exploration of two poets from different worlds. In 2015 and 2016, they exchanged poems in two cycles, Echoes and Refrains and Illuminations, which reflect their unique experiences and perspectives.
The poets' dialogue is shaped by the challenges of finding "home" in their respective landscapes - Dawes in Nebraska's flat prairieland and Kinsella in Western Australia. Their poems grapple with issues like violence, injustice, and ecological threat, yet also reveal commonalities in love, family, art, politics, music, and travel.
The result is a complex and beautiful poetic conversation that stretches each poet to new heights and provokes a deeper honesty. This collection is a testament to the power of poetry to bridge cultural divides and foster understanding.
