y separately published work icon Westering Peter Kirkpatrick , Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2006 Z1225399 2006 selected work poetry (taught in 1 units) Westering is a dazzling collection. It displays a range of allusiveness, wisdom and technical skill amounting to virtuosity that calls for the right use of superlatives. Kirkpatrick endlessly surprises with profound observations enlivened with urbane and playful wit. The book is like the pleasure of intelligent conversation with a splendid host. The longer poems showcase an expansive and intricate mind; the shorter lyrics make a striking concert that will echo.
