Plain and Purl, cinematic in its
imagery, psalm-like in its
renditions of pain, loss and
renewal, carves a unique path
through contemporary poetic
trends.
In close-up, tightly crafted
poems Alistair Stewart’s
collection begins in the silence
of personal tragedy and emanates
outward in epic sequence around
motifs of ash, sky, fatherhood
and grief.
It retains the widely acclaimed
style of the verse narrative
Frankston 281, pointing a
documentary lens with intimate
effect.
Plain and Purl is a testament of
love and a hard-eyed anitdote to
the sleek inducements of
contemporary life.
