A Dance of Life
Man with Nature in paintings and poetry

by Louise Blood

 

fruit bats, silouetted against the moon
like ants crawling over a picnic cake....

a bird with bill with funny knob
swinging on banana's pendulum bob...

micky birds upside down and downside up....

mudlarks, feathers fluffed up in a sprinkler's spray make merry...

frogs, gular pouches bloated and throbbing, serenading to life renewed...

"In its celebration of the cycle of life it also captures seasons of the spirit - joy, vitality, reverence, meditativness"

"tropical houses provide a stage for nature and its creatures ... a book that lifts our spirits and renews our wonder"

Laurie Hergenhan
Editor, Australian Literary Studies
