O knihe

When we listen, this land sings to us, holds us, nurtures us. This land is the common ground that we share. This small blue planet is the common world of our existence. Desert Patterns is a collection of poetry that touches the membrane between two worlds with the breath of wildness and our inland journeys. In its striking imagery, we have a revelation of the significance of the land and of the burden of our Australian history.
'Colleen's poetic journey invokes the deep spirituality of our landscape. She immerses us in "a multitude of gorgeous images" as we stand in Tunnel Creek remembering Jandamarra, marvel with Monet at Kakadu's "blazing-blue lilies" and dream with cicadas: "is it a place the gods keep/to seduce the lost like me?" Every step of the way, Desert Patterns will entrance you.' - Pip Griffin
'Colleen Keating in her distinctive Australian voice combines sensitivity to place with clear, powerful free verse. Her images are both striking and profound. Again as in her previous collections, her poetry is underpinned by a gentle spirituality from a woman's perspective. - John Egan
'Take time to enter the world of this poetic landscape. Colleen Keating invites us to listen - with all our senses.' - Margaret Hede
