Totem: Poems

An exquisite collection of physical, sensual poems which confirms Davies' reputation as one of Australia's foremost contemproary poets.

An ecstatic hymn to love and life, grandly dense, hallucinatory in its intensity, 'Totem Poem' glows like a sun at the heart of this book; the diamond-edged '40 love poems', exquisite lyrics of romance, passion and intimacy, circle it like satellites.

In this new collection Davies has created an extraordinarily moving and beautiful poetic universe, at once richly physical and uncompromisingly metaphysical.
