1 y separately published work icon The Oblong Plot Chris Andrews , Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2024 28052206 2024 selected work poetry

'Moving nimbly between the granular and the broad view, The Oblong Plot, Chris Andrews’ third collection, takes in paint splotches on a sawhorse and a star named Fang, life-wasting systems and means of escape. These faceted, echoing poems observe the world’s shifting arrangements while rearranging their own letters, sounds, syllables, words and lines. The Oblong Plot invites the reader to join in its serious play.'
