Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Four Oceans, Toby Davidson's second collection, confirms his reputation as one of the most expansive and radical voices in the emerging generation of Australian poets. The scale and scope of the works are deliberately ambitious, often testing the limits of what a single poem can reveal through multiple readings. This collection follows the poet's transitions from Western to Eastern Australia and overseas through finely-wrought, if occasionally feral, long verse sequences and experiments in form. Yet these are not escapist poems; they know 'escape cannot be a constant costume' and instead confront the ghosts of Australia's past. They look inward as well as out, forward as well as back, with a gritty resolve, empathy and wry humour. Four Oceans is a poetry collection which bears stark witness to the present moment and unsparingly asks how we got here.'Book-ended by two substantial sequences, with 'memory as a toy to tamper with (and how)', and great verbal ingenuity and humour, Four Oceans is a major achievement of one of our most talented younger poets.' David Malouf Four Oceans Yet these are not escapist poems; they know 'escape cannot be a constant costume' and instead confront the ghosts of Australia's past. They look inward as well as out, forward as well as back, with a gritty resolve, empathy and wry humour.

"Jockeys must be light to ride at the weights which are assigned to their mounts. There are horse carrying weight limits, that are set by racing authorities. The Kentucky Derby, for example, has a weight limit of 126 lb (57 kg) including the jockey's equipment. The weight of a jockey usually ranges from 108 to 118 lb (49 to 54 kg). Despite their light weight, they must be able to control a horse that is moving at 40 mph (64 km/h) and weighs 1,200 lb (540 kg). [citation needed] Though there is no height limit for jockeys, they are usually fairly short due to the weight limits. Jockeys typically stand around 4 ft 10 in (147 cm) to 5 ft 6 in (168 cm).

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In his first days as Prime Minister, John Curtin presented himself to the press as a self-styled intellectual who loved sport and relaxing, when he could, with a book, beach walk, game of cards or fossick in the garden. He also revealed that he enjoyed poetry so much that he held to a Sunday night poetry ritual.Curtin was Australia's third wartime Prime Minister, Labor's eighth Prime Minister, and the first Prime Minister from a Western Australian electorate.'Toby Davidson reveals a new perspective on John Curtin: the poetry of his times, and the poems he himself read. As Davidson shows, Curtin's poetry reading and his reflections upon it influenced his thoughts and language from his socialist youth to the last days of his leadership of a nation transformed by global peril. Good for the Soul: John Curtin's Life with Poetry is a unique, patiently researched and fascinating re-evaluation of Australia's revered wartime Prime Minister.' John Edwards, author of John Curtin's War Volume I & II'A stunningly comprehensive account which shows a side of John Curtin we have only glimpsed before. Davidson skilfully traces how poetry was Curtin's companion and ally from his humble beginnings in rural Victoria to his death in office in 1945, two months before the end of World War II.'

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Grand Reopening, Toby Davidsons third collection, was written during the post-pandemic return to normality, a fundamentally abnormal experience now largely consigned to the memory hole Australia reserves for the worst of its history. Through a startling array of poetic styles, Davidsons works refuse this amnesia and instead trace a world encountering itself anew and with new forms of openness, from Sydney bars to Dublins midnight streets and the active volcanic rim of Santorini where, as ever, nature is teacher.'Toby Davidson is a master of the run-on line, and his end words often create a form of spell-making that works like a lit fuse. These poems move from the accessible, fine-boned lyric to complex narratives that invite close scrutiny and make invitations, not detour signs, towards understanding. The Grand Reopening is a compelling third collection.' Anthony Lawrence'Whether through observing a pod of passing whales, Dublins seagulls or a drowning cicada or in musings on love or dental treatment Davidsons unfailingly precise diction and compression, and disciplined, deeply-considered structural decisions, bring us a new collection which crackles with intense, unpredictable energy. And the final sequence is a knockout.' Marcella Polain'The Grand Reopening is a searing book of love and mortality. In its taut, short lines, the long sequence His Blood Whisper Scolds the Deathless Intelligence enters the mind and heart and simply will not leave.' Kevin Hart The Grand Reopening, Toby Davidsons third collection, was written during the post-pandemic return to normality, a fundamentally abnormal experience now largely consigned to the memory hole Australia reserves for the worst of its history.
