- catalog description "The Bounty -- I cannot remember the name of that seacoast city -- Signs -- Then, as if the earth's wick were being lowered -- Thanksgiving -- Miraculous as when a small cloud of cabbage-whites -- Parang -- It depends on how you look at the cream church on the cliff -- It is low tide, so the reef evolves into islands -- Homecoming -- To recede like a snail flattening its enquiring horns -- New creatures ease from earth, nostrils nibbling air -- The feel of the village in the afternoon heat, a torpor -- There is nothing except the sun at the end of the street -- The phrases of a patois rooted in this clay hillside -- Never get used to this; the feathery, swaying casuarinas -- Great bursts of exaltation crest the white breaker -- Spain -- Down shortcuts like wounds in the hills, into estate kitchens -- Not the horned head, the beaked visor, the threshing vans -- What is this virulence that eats at the cloth of the altar -- The bamboo stands ready as an army with its plumed banners -- Six Fictions -- I am considering a syntax the colour of slate -- I saw stones that shone with stoniness, I saw thorns -- Alphaeus Prince. What a name! He was one of the Princes -- These lines that I write now, that lack salt and motion -- The sublime always begins with the chord "And then I saw," -- Praise to the rain, eraser of picnics, praise the grey cloud -- Awaking to gratitude in this generous Eden -- If these were islands made from mythologies where -- The sea should have settled him, but its noise is no help -- Italian Eclogues -- She returns to her role as a seagull. The wind -- A Santa Cruz Quartet -- At the end of this line there is an opening door -- Never plotted, never provided with their proper metre -- In late-afternoon light the tops of the breadfruit leaves -- After the plague, the city-wall caked with flies, the smoke's amnesia.".
