Beneath Our Armour - Peter Bakowski
Beneath Our Armour’s portrait poems cover vast tracts of history, geography, and personae in a way that is at once intimate and epic. Intimate, because Bakowski imagines his way into the lives of people as radically disparate as Cyril Connolly, Diego Rivera, Sylvia Plath, and Elizabeth Smart. Epic, because he transports us from Old Macau to Bedford Square London, and even Lower Templestowe, and from pitched battles to civilised dinner parties.
Intense, disturbing and memorable, Beneath Our Armour is an assured and beautifully crafted new book from one of Australia's finest contemporary poets.
