1 y separately published work icon The Horizon Shifts Sideways Alison Thompson , Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2024 27659394 2024 selected work poetry

'The Horizon Shift Sideways displays an informed curiosity about the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it ― both human and animal ― and the entanglements and interactions that exist between these. The unique directness of her work is a result of the combination of the scientific and the aesthetic, combined with characteristic clear-eyed observation.' (Publication summary)

'When Paul awoke, the dog had died, and he was sorry. Sorry for its death, sorry he had not cared for it in life as well as he should have, sorry he'd been unable to extend to it more than a vague affection and cheap food; sorry that, at the end, he'd failed to take it to the vet and spare the animal that last dreadful night, sorry too he was not as sorry as he ought to have been...'  (Publication abstract)
