*Shortlisted for the 2020 Australian Literature Society (ALS) Gold Medal*
Using chemistry as an indexing
trope, Jordie Albiston tabulates the human predicament of love: its foundations
and fundamentals, its configuration of emotions, its recurring properties and
its inherent assumption of many as yet unknown elements to occur.
These poems range across space and time, all
the while adhering to the formal constraints of atomic theory. The states and structures of being are
scrutinised according to love's capacity for passion and fissure, blessing and
debt, and a compound body of two is progressively mapped onto the page.
'Albiston's poetry
cohesively resettles readers well beyond the usual linguistic boundaries, and
by these means the poems sharply renew possibilities of enunciation.' —Dan Disney, Westerly
