About this product
Product Information
The sun is our closest star just average a middle-aged dwarf past its prime but still a few billion years to go and fierce is its heat It's domains: interior surface atmospheres inner corona outer corona Did someone say Corona? The Wear of My Face is an assemblage of passing lives and landscapes, fractured worlds and realities. There is splintered text and image, memory and dream, newscast and conversation. Women wicker first light, old men make things that glow, poets are standing stones, frontlines merge with tourist lines. Lizz Murphy weaves these elements into the strangeness of suburbia, the intensity of waiting rooms, bush stillness, and hopes for a leap of faith as at times she leaves a poem as fragmented as a hectic day or a bombed street. What may sometimes seem like misdemeanours of the mind, to Lizz they are simply the distractions and disturbances of daily life somewhere. There is a rehomed greyhound, a breezy scientist, ancient malleefowl, beige union reps, and people in all their conundrums. You might travel on a seagull's wing or wing through the aerosphere.

Reviews
"Through formal ingenuity--squares of weighted lyric/narrative play that float or as her fragments stanza themselves down the page--Lizz Murphy invites us into the solitary, sometimes dangerous human interior. She sees and hears pitch-perfect. These poems are so easily loved yet can resist, transgress, confound. Still they open with wonder from the very start where 'Each word about a pear is a word out of.' Take note of her warning. --'The first bite is with a knife.'" --Marianne Boruch, author of Bestiary Dark, "Lizz Murphy is at her best in her nature poems and double-edged domestic meanderings that encapsulate both home and planet. Whether joyful or celebratory, interrogative and political (some with kick-ass flair) or quietly aching or meditative, these poems offer a pleasurable image-insight experience. Each poem is 'a happening.'" --Merlinda Bobis, author of The Kindness of Birds, "The Wear of My Face is an uncanny and politically powerful collection. It traverses strangelands that thrum with colour. Its fragments are suspended in a tender tension, much like the conundrums of the human world it explores." Sarah St Vincent Welch, writer and image maker, "The Wear of My Face is an uncanny and politically powerful collection. It traverses 'strangelands' that thrum with colour. Its fragments are suspended in a tender tension, much like the conundrums of the human world it explores." --Sarah St Vincent Welch, writer and image maker
