“Linger, Still is a humble and quiet work, but also powerfully ambitious. Here are poems of vision and compassion, steeped in history and philosophy, always alert to their music. They ask essential questions, whilst never failing to reveal the familiar to us in new and beautiful ways.” – Miranda Pearson
Out of stock
Aislinn Hunter writes of impossibilities that somehow function; of the tenuous interrelations that comprise our experience. Grounded by the questions “how to be good, how to be,” Hunter’s field of inquiry ranges across domestic, ecological, literary and philosophical subjects. Her poems are exclamations of recognition in the midst of caginess. This collection reaches for, and grasps, “what lists under every pose: the hope / that someone will love us”.
