A concentrated dialogue with the world around her, displayed in her first two books, gives way to poems that suggest aftermath and new beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Their contemplations occur in the spaces left after loss, where love and grief are \u2018kinds of home without settlement\u2019. They summon up the pluck and rapture of childhood, and the wisdom of religions: Buddhist, Hindu, Judeo-Christian, and a resilient and matriarchial animism.<\/p>\n<p>The movement of voice here seems to rely on vacuum and echo for its definitions. The poems refract a spectrum of meanings, from inward directness, to inventive allegory. In the key poem \u2018gimel\u2019, the undulating gait of the white camel \u2018makes this direction into a future\u2019. Yasbincek\u2019s own rhythms, as ever, are assured and light-syllabled.<\/p>\n<p><i>White Camel<\/i>\u00a0was shortlisted for the 2010 Kenneth Slessor Prize in the NSW Premier\u2019s Literary Awards.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"White Camel Poems\" href=\"http:\/\/johnleonardpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/15.-White-CamelFeb2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Here<\/a>\u00a0is a selection of poems from\u00a0<em>White Camel.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"White Camel Reviews\" href=\"http:\/\/johnleonardpress.com\/?p=283\" target=\"_blank\">Reviews<\/a>:\u00a0<em>White Camel<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISBN:\u00a09780980526943\u00a0 \u00a0 \u2022 \u00a0\u00a064 pp. pbk \u00a0 \u2022 \u00a0\u00a0RRP: 24.95 This third book is a radical departure in Morgan Yasbincek\u2019s poetry.
