Title: How to tour the world on a flying fox
Description: These poems are a beautiful ensemble of intricate forms and symphonic notes. A rookery, a hermitage, a neat recipe for apple strudel, an anemographic analysis of wedded bliss, a eulogy to mermaids: all this and more lies in store in this stunning collection. Discovery of its unexpected, creative, multilayered places is continuously enriched by Marisa's deeply excavated truths. ~ Siobhan Harvey As a jeweller, Marisa Cappetta makes pieces that are often ingenious and quirky constructs bringing together disparate elements of material, texture and colour. Her poems, too, are wonderful constructs, products of a soaring imagination and sometimes surreal connection, which, coupled with a keen eye and a poet's sensibility, make for a wonderful ride for reader or listener. ~ James Norcliffe.
