Aprašymas

JOHN KINSELLA examines the role of the artist in the landscape and the unique character of rural life. Using Beethoven's 6th Symphony as the framework for the collection, he explores the music of an Australian rural landscape and the European impact on a tenacious yet fragile environment.

"John Kinsella, in The Silo, shows himself to be an authentic poet, astonishingly individuated. There are only a handful (or fewer) English-language poets of his generation whose work is already so original, so fully formed, and so clearly destined to become part of the central tradition."

"Wheat fires, salt hollows, lightning as a type of razor wire, lymphatic fog, parrots with bolt-cutter beaks - here's an anamnesis of rural Australia, but a poet unafraid to honour it with the full stretch of his language."

"Kinsella's rhetoric of concentration is stonily effective, slowly squeezing the poem through the cracks in the concrete."
