Earshot

$25.00 inc GST

This debut collection from Sam Morley comprises poetry that is image-rich, probing and sublime. Committed to observation as a vehicle for discovery, Earshot is a book-length meditation deep in the mystery of the domestic sphere and the natural world. The poems are often profoundly personal while somehow removed, rippling out from Morley’s unique inner perceptions into something universal and large. Pictures and diction progress with a
distinctively strenuous, yet fluent movement – these are poems which deliver more in a few lines than many poems deliver in their entirety.

REVIEWS

“Sam Morley has succeeded in bringing to light a beautiful poetry book in Earshot, conveying a complexity of meaning with poetic lines which awaken the imagination as it traverses times and places. This is a terrific and masterful debut…He is a brilliant storyteller, the stories in the poems are written in a language that is dynamic and stylistic as well as entertaining.” BEATRIZ COPELLO, Compulsive Reader
