Numb and Number collects together poems written between 2011 and 2019. At its core is a confronting sequence of confessional poems which arises from depression and includes poems on the death of the poet s mother. It also includes a number of narrative poems which range from a long poem in the voice of the former boy convict George Bruce in 1811 to a meditation on historical contingency in From a Train in Connecticut and some satirical poems such as Ode to Australia s Most Ambitious Poet and Homecoming, which satirises Australians current fetish for travel.
The emotional range of this collection is remarkable, and the formal variety is equally intriguing, making this a long-awaited addition to this major poet s oeuvre.
