On Wonder

By Vanessa Proctor

Vanessa Proctor's expertise as a gifted writer of contemporary haiku is at work in this collection of poems, On Wonder, in their concision and lack of artifice. Travelling across the many forms of wonder - awe, reverence, amazement, admiration, curiosity - the poems resonate with lovingly observed details. From the familial and domestic, visceral childhood memories, museums, galleries and gardens, the lives of friends and strangers, and particularly the richness and solace of the natural world - they are celebrations of this moment/ this here, this now. These poems will open your mind, stir your senses and cause you to slow down and take the time to be attentive to the wonders to be found in the most ordinary days, to become, like the poet, a student of small things. Like the poet's old violin, they sing and sing and sing
