Review PRAISE FOR INTERVAL In the beauty of birth is the muteness of our existence on a planet were destroying, and this paradox drives the book in a committed and deeply intelligent way.--John KinsellaInterval is a supple exploration of consciousness and an acknowledgement of the mysterious space-time matrix from which change and growth arise. Judith Bishop takes us on a philosophical, singing search guided by human love, its joyous countenance of now. These intellectually and linguistically graceful poems reach outward to the universe from their grounding in the everyday things of the earth - child and parent, artefact, ant, beetle, leaf and molecule - as they slip away and are replenished. --Jan OwenJudith Bishops interval is a space of vigilance and transformation, the bridge between I and Thou. Her antic, ontic lyrics sing of trusting--even trysting--this implacable world. --Andrew ZawackiIntroducing philosophic concerns in a contemporary voice recalling poets like Judith Wright and Gwen Harwood, Interval ranges over many subjects, from Greek myth to Mallarmé to a fault line in the human universe where The Wild Has No Words. Interval invites the readers attention into a complex depth under the surface, gathering light into a form where as if meeting -- souls, the dearest sort -- / were the lightest touch / a minds lips upon the/ other minds / like this. Bishop offers readers pleasure with a blending of images, ideas and music conducted by a powerful vision. - Robert Adamson Promotional The much anticipated second volume from an award-winning poet.
