More Details
Across the abyss a bannister goes,
a railing on a ledge
over sullen darkness,
leading its intermediaries
to stairs up and down,
rooms that begin and do not end,
halls of light ( but rarely glory),
alcoves peopled by rain spiders and slow breathing.
So begins Wendy Woodward’s third volume of poetry, a journey into vulnerability and grace, across terrains inhabited by dogs, minotaurs and leviathans, by puppets and a failed Icarus. Stories are teased from the ears of donkeys and the pit-pits of an oyster catcher, from a cupboard in the Amatholas to a monastery in Sikkim -
all held behind the saving bannister of her poetry.
