At the heart of Potter's poetry is a keen awareness of the power of transformation, which brings the celestial and the physical, the imagined and the real closer to hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe poems hold an ear to those wandering figures who, like Icarus, search the peripheries of those adjoining worlds for a way through, but instead often fall against the clockwork of the ordinary. Surreal gardens, repetitive geometry, rooms of clouds, witches, and monsters lie not outside the natural world but directly within it, mixing poetry and quotation, dream with prose. Each poem coexists at an angle to the next, sitting as if within the net of a wider page, seeking to embody the dramatic sense of reading and of falling right through its spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcanthus\u003c\/em\u003e combines dream-like clarity with sudden violent metamorphosis. The title recalls a story from Vitruvius: how, in spring, an acanthus plant flowered through a child's grave; how this inspired Callimachus to carve the Corinthian capital. Potter quotes Derrida: \u003cem\u003eeverything will flower at the edge of a desolate tomb\u003c\/em\u003e. Grief and remembering, flowering greenness, and carved stone: the poetry is shaped by such elemental forces. The poems of childhood, of elegy, of lovers' meetings and separations are everywhere subject to a mythical vision of human encounters.\u003c\/strong\u003e - Lisa Gorton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362505113836,"sku":"9781925818956","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18514893482873.jpg?v=1772884898"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/claire-potter.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
