Title: What Long Miles
Description: Whether it's a pitch-perfect formal poem, a darkly comic narrative, or an achingly melancholic lyric, Kona Macphee's work displays her trademark technical panache and musician's deftness with the aural possibilities of language. The poems in What Long Miles exemplify her striking ability to blend hard-won emotional insight with a clear outward gaze and a deep, compassionate engagement with the world. Kona Macphee's What Long Miles is a characteristically eclectic collection from an ever-inventive writer, the winner of the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize for her previous collection, Perfect Blue. -- Provided by publisher.

Third collection by winner of the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize in 2011.
Subjects: Poetry (poetic works by one author), English poetry
