These poems are distilled from decades of living, reading, thinking and feeling. They have an intelligence and tigerish grace that can only be achieved by a poet who has taken on, in every way, the hard work of writing. Here readers will encounter a dung-beetle Dante who pitches his swag at the foot of the mountain; lucid and powerful grappling with the endless strangeness of our embodiment; sane and wry poems on the inescapable absurdities of what is briefly our present day; and sharp, aphoristic lines that remind me powerfully of Blake's 'Proverbs of Hell'. This is a book with a rare depth of humanity and spirit that bears witness to its writer's fearless perceptiveness, and which always carries itself with compassion and wit. - Graeme Miles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781925780970\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Puncher \u0026 Wattmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43015178944575,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/18135033482873.jpg?v=1773739708","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/at-the-foot-of-the-mountain-by-mal-mckimmie","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
