Chris Wallace-Crabbe brings his characteristic wit and intellectual precision to bear on the everyday and the philosophical alike, illustrating how the ordinary world is shot through with deeper meaning and quiet revelation. The poems move with an assured, conversational tone that belies their formal sophistication, drawing on history, art, and personal reflection to construct a vision of life as something perpetually breaking apart and reforming. Splinters confirms Wallace-Crabbe's standing as a master of the lyric form, offering readers a collection that is at once playful and profound, grounded in the Australian landscape yet reaching toward universal truths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820234289371,"sku":"2026200006436-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/94e89917-1b76-4f36-a68d-efa8a4515271.png?v=1780055018","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006436-secondhand-splinters","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
