Shortlisted for the ALS Gold Medal 2019
Melbourne poet Luke Beesley's third
collection with Giramondo.
Aqua Spinach rounds out a trilogy of books interested in the
affinities between poetry and other media – visual arts, music, and
particularly in this collection, cinema. The poems in Aqua Spinach blend observation, memory and anecdote, producing
surrealistic imagery as they pivot and twist from image to image. They are infused
with the atmosphere of surrealist cinema, mimicking the films' focus on dreams,
fragments and humour, while also speaking to the author's quotidian Melbourne
milieu.
