  • The Persistence of History
    Graeme Hetherington
    ’The majority of poems in The Persistence of History describe Graeme Hetherington’s engagement with David Keeling’s paintings. As a form of ekphrasis, Hetherington’s responses to Keeling’s art are rarely detailed descriptions of the paintings themselves, but rather personal responses to the works evoking memories of his own life’s circumstances and reflections on the human cond...

  • The Divided Self
    Graeme Hetherington

  • Life Given
    Graeme Hetherington
    The craft in this, Graeme Hetherington’s third collection of poems, is like that of the tapestry maker. In short lyrics of sinewy tetrameter and assonantal music, the poet’s dark and bright strands of narrative, of thematic concern, are interwoven in a technique that allows the shape of an individual life to disclose itself from the commingling and recurrence of vivid personal ...

  • At Large
    Graeme Hetherington
    A former lecturer in Greek, Roman and Ancient Near Eastern history and literature at the University of Tasmania, Graeme Hetherington has spent much of his adult life living at large in Europe and Turkey to be closer to the source of his subject matter. More often than not, his response to his culturally charged surroundings has taken the form of poems rather than scholarly book...
