The Japanese art of 'Kintsugi', the use of gold or other materials to repair and decorate broken pottery, provides the underlying theme of this collection. Time, memory, place and love become the agents that break, bind and repair throughout. In the first section, a series of poems about the connotations and impact of 'place' takes us to real and remembered landscapes and cities. As if to emphasise the 'kin' in 'Kintsugi', the second section explores the perspectives, stresses and occasional breakages of being a parent, a child and a partner; but reminds us, too, that these relationships offer 'new coastlines of experience'. The third section's poems meditate on objects and their meanings, including buried sculptures, junk mail catalogues, synchrotrons, bushfire memorials, school fetes, illuminated manuscripts and angels using Streetview.
