Phosphorescence

a collection of poems

Plot

The poems in PhosphorescenceGraeme Miles' first collectionfocus on growth, decay, and luminosity. Though concerned with the foundational events of childhood and with inner experience, these poems are keenly aware of place, embracing various localities in Western Australia and beyond. The central sequences, Circle and Line and Some Hours explore the cycles of light and darkness both through the past and in present reality. Ranging from short lyrics to major meditative sequences, Phosphorescence introduces a distinctive new voice in Australian poetry.
