AbstractHistoryArchive Description

''Even the titles thrum, so that the index reads like a suite of small poems. Kathryn Lomer's is a house with many rooms, Wunderkammers all, filled with curious objects drawn from the worlds of art, science, nature, love, life, death... everything. Supple lines and sensitive rhythms make surprising conjunctions, often leading us from the smallest detail of a beloved's body to an erotics of the cosmos. Lomer's music shows us what it means to live a life of poetry.' 'Judges' comments, 2021 Dorothy Hewett Award' (Publication summary)

Notes

  • Epigraph: Stay with things. Engage with the world in meaningful, non-utilitarian ways. - Heidegger


    The texture of consciousness is the language of literature not the data of science. - Neurologist, Robert Burton 


    The world was lovely, really, but it was tricky, and peevish with the small things, like a god who didn't get out much. - Lorrie Moore 


    The truth of this is simple and profound; how else may we be said to live, except by feeling? - Antonio Damasio — The strange order of things 


    There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein
