beautiful stream of conciousness prose poetry autobiography, fossicking through addiction for memories, through memories for more memories, rescuing from the void. circling the pit but never falling in to self-pity or romance.
childhood and memory. the days feel different when you're a kid. the landscape pulsates, you can feel time dilate. as heat - tempting to think this an australian thing, but it isn't. not events but they feeling they evoke, things stretch on.
a work of autobiography from the creative self. all still in flux, we circle the truth with kinsella. one wants to immediately start the book again. i understand why kinsella was attracted to the pantoum form now, all life is ebbing and flowing
