Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Elizabeth Smither's eighteenth collection of poetry her words are as vital as ever. The poems take the everyday - mothers and daughters, cats and horses, books and bowls, slippers and shirts - and transform them into something fresh: sometimes surreal, sometimes funny, often enchanted. A…nd throughout, the work is infected with the personality of the author: a quirky, whimsical observer of the mundane world around her, which she shows to be full of surprises. 'Elizabeth Smither's world is the people she knows, the places she visits, the animals she encounters. As they appear in her work they take on mysterious, sometimes surreal, qualities. Her imaginative world is charming and enchanted, peculiar, whimsical, and often very funny' - C. K. Stead 'W. H. Auden once defined poetry as a game of knowledge, a bringing to consciousness, by naming them, of emotions and their hidden relationships . This definition suits Smither's poetry, too, with its sophistication, its wit and humour, its playfulness, its candour, its tenderness, its exploration through simile and metaphor of the unexpected relations between things' - Peter Simpson 'The freshness of Elizabeth's vision, her altogether metaphorical way of looking at the world, constantly surprises. Then there is the course her poems take, rising into something which hits, or is very like, the sublime. Her work is replete with a humanity that draws the reader in, moves us and stays with us, achieving what the Chinese call 'the meaning beyond the words' - Diana Bridge Mothers and daughters, cats and horses, books and bowls are transformed in Elizabeth Smithers eighteenth poetry collection. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A wind that only the widest gardens can hold. A lipstick stain on a poem. A bee released - with recourse to a letter from the Inland Revenue Department. A grey sky like a governess, a mother dressed by her two-year-old son, a flurry of leaves behind a tram. In The Blue Coat, Elizabeth Smith…er examines the quotidian and the quirky for resonance, for contemplation, for verve. Here 'poetry has a place among other bodies', but also in enclosed gardens, in Chinese restaurants, in margins and in memory - 'sometimes open and hospitable, sometimes secret, behind dark hedges'. Whimsical and tender, this latest collection demonstrates Smither's talent for illuminating the poetry in the everyday - an out-of-season daffodil, a chipped Limoges plate. She is a master of the unfolding poem, in lines that take you from a single image to the cusp of something larger. At times meditative, at times playful, even slightly subversive, this collection impresses with a surety of word, a deft touch and a polished harmony.

Peter Simpson'Smither has written a deeply felt, closely observed, tightly patterned novel about how we treat each other and how we should treat each other.' Paul LIttle, North and Sou…th'Such is the grace and skill at work in Smither's writing, I put it down feeling I'd been contemplating art.' Catherine Woulfe, NZ Listener'A work of deft characterisation . . . a novel whose plot and cast are charted with particular, poetic and plentiful care.' Siobhan Harvey, The New Zealand HeraldSylvie rows across a lake to her wedding.Madeleine flees to Paris and works in Le Livre Bleu bookshop.Isobel is summoned to her doctor's surgery late one afternoon.Elizabeth Smither takes us into the richly imagined worlds of three women - Sylvie, her mother Madeleine and grandmother Isobel.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Girl Who Proposed, Elizabeth Smither's fifth collection of short stories shows this writer's brilliant insights and command of character and situation. The stories range widely in theme - happiness, suspense, humour and the working of human relationships. 'There's such a range of moods in th…em - fulfilment, meeting and parting, solitude, endeavour, plus much mischief and subversive wit.' - David Hill About the author Elizabeth Smither is a poet, novelist and short story writer. Her poetic style is considered idiosyncratic while it moves beyond the self-referential into the areas of legendary characters, Catholicism and the workings of language itself. As well as receiving numerous other awards, Elizabeth Smither was named the 2002 Te Mata Poet Laureate. She was awarded the MNZM in 2004, and the 2008 Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement in Poetry. 249 pages.
