In Some Ways Dingo

Description

‘These are cruising poems: from inner city nights to driving country roads with a view across dashboard to margarine-coloured longrass shoplifting along the way with pop favourites Nick Cave, Sleater-Kinney, Neko Case and Taylor Swift as the soundtrack.’ -Pam Brown ‘The poems revel in their uncouth streak, off-road and with a ruinous attitude.’ -Ella O’Keefe ‘ Paloma’s work can … be cited as part of a ‘new wave’ of Australian poetry and resists easy categorisation… In Some Ways Dingo embraces lexical shifts on the level of the line, through the poem, across the page, between poems. Language tugs in multiple directions, across different spaces/places, moving beyond, through, away and deep beneath.’ Amelia Dale, Cordite Poetry Review ‘this book isIn Some Ways Dingoand in some ways dingo, invitational in a sort of unfussed, casual, incantory way, like both a map and the act of traversing. These are poems about what it is to wonder about space before entering it, and then to do so, and to keep wondering the whole way through.’ Alex Griffin, Plumwood Mountain ‘These poems battle with an unrelenting desire to connect with nature, with people, and with ourselves, but at the same time capture how easily we sink into screens’ -Loni Jeffs, Lor Journal —- ISBN: 9780995390140
