{ "item_title" : "Porch Light", "item_author" : [" Ivy Ireland "], "item_description" : "In the poem 'Nuclear', after stating '... Nothing is ever obvious or contained', Ivy Ireland asks, 'How can I write / a lyric poem about the microneedle in the gargantuan multiverse?' Yet, in a book replete with angels, devils, evolutionary theory, astro-physics, mythology, magpie song, winter flowers, ghost gums, strangler figs, human love and human fear, this is what she does. Never obvious or contained, Porch Light is its own multi-verse of ideas, speculations and puzzlements. It swings from abstract terminology to idiomatic vigour, from doubt to joy, from mind to body. This is exciting writing, exciting reading. - Brook EmeryPorch Light is an ambitious, intelligent and deft collection of poems. Ireland walks assuredly through the complex terrains of physical laws and balances, contemporary mysticism, pop-science and states of performed embodiment. This book believes utterly in the ability of human imaginations to make outlandish, seductive connections between worldly 'facts' and other-worldly possibilities. - Kate FaganGraceful and bold, these poems commute between the celestial and the earthly, between angelic knowledge and human experience, courting the ineffable in a seductive, sensuous voice that James Merrill would have loved. - Kim Cheng Boey", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/92/218/671/1922186716_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "16.99", "online_price" : "16.99", "our_price" : "16.99", "club_price" : "16.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
