A vivid new collection of poetry from the winner of the NSW Premier's Literary Award - Kenneth Slessor poetry prize. With sensual, fresh and graceful energies, Lomer's poems move between the grounded and the whimsical. Each small gesture has expansive implications; each poem is jewelled with reflections and woven with slivers on insight and bright fragments of mirth. Night Writing is divided into five sections: 'The mother hand', 'Rainbow angle', 'The dark zone, 'Eclipse plumage' and 'Holy days. Inspired by landscape, (including some beautiful evocations of the Tasmanian wilderness), craft and creativity, motherhood and resilience, Lomer's new volume is a welcome addition to her previous poetry collections, Two Kinds of Silence (UQP, 2007) and Extraction of Arrows (UQP, 2003).
