From the Mist

Description

Kookaburras welcome a broken poet home, and jacarandas weep with her and her community in sorrow, grief, and lament. Through deaths and losses, the poet emerges, cat-like, again into life.

In her fifth collection of poetry, Sarah Agnew invites the reader to enter and reflect on the riches of life through raw honesty, wry, slantwise humour, and deep, joy-filled gratitude.

‘full of heart, arteries woven around seasons where, sunlight flicks the surface ripples, and veins running through the body of humanity, the giving, the guilty, the loved and the lonely.’ Jude Aquilina

‘a crafted collection of intimate poems, many of which express familiar Australian landscapes, metaphors and relational themes. Yet then, almost out the blue, a depth of grief and poignancy hits the reader in the midriff, pointing us toward our often unspoken vulnerabilities or ‘fragilities.’’ Sean Gilbert
