A Fold in the Light
Indigo 2001

''A Fold In The Light'.is a dramatic and richly imagistic sweep of sea and shore poems that work through narrative and dialogue to question time and death, the nature of memory and what lies beyond our knowledge. Strong rhythms and musicality of diction convey to the reader the exhilaration as well as the danger of life in the last days of sail. The journey by sea is mirrored at a spiritual level by the religious intimations of the poems characters and by their attentiveness to the world. The judges felt the clarity and detail along with the unpredictable leaps of thought give these poems integrity and vision.'
Judge's report, Newcastle Prize, 2000

'Maybe our finest history poet.'
Les Murray, at the booklaunch of A Fold In The Light, June 2001
