The Wound is the latest collection from esteemed Australian poet
John Kinsella, whose previous accolades include the Grace Leven
Poetry Prize, the John Bray Award for Poetry, the Age Poetry Book
of the Year Award, and three-times winner of the Western Australian
Premier's Book Award for Poetry. Kinsella describes himself as a
'vegan anarchist pacifist', and The Wound was inspired by his anger
towards the destruction being wrought on the West Australian
coastal bushland by the controversial proposed construction of the
Roe 8 Highway Extension, which environmentalists protested would
endanger the area's wildlife, the biodiversity of which is equal to
that of the whole of England. In this collection Kinsella mixes
mythology with modernity, as this collection includes two books of
poems, the first inspired by the character of Mad King Sweeney from
Irish epic Buile Shuibhne, and the second comprised of works
'interacting' with poems written by German Romantic Friedrich
Hoelderlin.
