Lonnie’s Lament: Towards a History of the Vanishing Present
Ken Bolton
‘Writing that is buoyed by indeterminacy, in which a blithe surface both collapses and embodies intellectual enquiry … the work is also a meditation on poetry.’ - Gig Ryan, Australian Book Review
‘[We find] the familiar use of floating lines, repetition, loose jaunty rhythms, tonal shifts, proper names and explicit references to other poets … a rabbit warren of ideas and tangents grounded in the act of composition. In fact, no other Australian poet, with the possible exception of Pam Brown, pays quite so much attention to the physical and mental act of actually writing poetry.’ - Liam Ferney, Rabbit magazine
