Description

Unearthed is a collection of elegies for dead friends and past loves as well as a tribute to Ryan's embattled but joyous life on a bush block. In a long sequence addressed to her Swiss-German first husband, Ryan delves into unresolved grief and the ambivalent feelings that remain after severing intense relationships. Unearthed is Tracy Ryan's seventh full-length collection. According to Geoff Page, here is 'the poet at her mature and forensic best'.

Reviews

"Ryan's moving and profound work suggests, as William Faulkner famously observed, 'The past is never dead. It's not even past.' ****" --"Bookseller+Publisher"
