Review
Kevin Hart is one of the finest poets writing in English today. I admire his erudition and his imagination, the way history, art, myth, literature and many things come together in his poetry. This book will be a feast for those who want poetry to be both metaphysics and song. An absolutely original and indispensable poet. --Charles Simic
The most outstanding Australian poet of his generation…One of the major living poets in the English language…Kevin Hart is an erudite poet, but converts his learning into passion. He is a visionary of desire and its limits. --Harold Bloom
Elegant, deeply philosophical - Kevin Hart is the best Australian poet of the past 25 years. --Mark Strand

Product Description
Kevin Hart is not only one of Australia's most important poets but a major figure in world poetry. He is a visionary writer who has taken his bearings as much from English Romanticism and European Modernism as from the Bible, Plato and Meister Eckhart. His poetry is at once sensuous and mysterious, visionary yet grounded in the lush, tropical landscapes of Australia. Hart's poetry is dual in nature and inspiration, embracing the pain and passion of humanity at the same time as it evokes the immanence of God in the world. His double-edged poetry is both radiant and grounded, sensuous and searching, casting both light and shadow on what can be named while tracing the borderlines of what must be left unnamed. It does not betray these borders, but respects their mystery and complexity. As Hart has written: "The best conductor of mystery is clarity. The true bearer of complexity is simplicity."
