David Malouf, whose prose fiction has long been acclaimed for its lyrical precision, proves himself an equally masterful poet — conjuring Brisbane's subtropical heat, the ancient textures of Europe, and the quiet drama of consciousness with startling economy and grace.\n\nThese poems stand as a testament to Malouf's singular gift for transfiguring the ordinary into the transcendent, threading themes of exile, belonging, mortality, and the fragile negotiations between self and place through every stanza. His verse is spare yet richly weighted, each line carefully measured to carry the full emotional freight of a world perpetually reimagined. Ideal for those who have followed Malouf's celebrated novels or those encountering his work for the first time, Selected Poems leaves the reader with the unmistakable sense of a mind that sees — and illuminates — what others merely glance past. A signed copy makes this edition all the more remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203117523163,"sku":"2026100009459-SECONDHAND","price":200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/07a53097-3707-4c4a-9675-5fba83d81d8c.png?v=1788144367","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009459-secondhand-selected-poems-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
