Knifing the Ice (en Inglés) - Jude Aquilina

Oh retro moon, why do you hang

like a '70s lampshade

dusty with memories?

Jude Aquilina writes in a fresh contemporary voice, with insight and humour. Whether she takes you to the fridge, the bathroom or the moon, you will see vivid new horizons. Espy the clandestine life of warts; taste the warm bite of a full-chested cheese; fraternise with flashers and fungi.

Experimental in ideas and form, Jude Aquilina's poetry is sensuous and surprising. Some poems shine 'like a jewel in an idol's forehead', while others should be wrapped in brown paper!

'Jude's poetry is refreshingly accessible ... the reader easily identifies with the images and hears the rhythm of the lyrics.' - Martin R. Johnson

'... the sudden effective image, the mundane made magical.' - Steve Evans
