Overview

Kookaburras welcome a broken poet home, and jacarandas weep with her and her community in sorrow, grief, and lament. Through deaths and losses, the poet emerges, cat-like, again into life. Spirited, soulful, storied: the poems in From the Mist, Sarah Agnew's fifth collection, invite the reader to enter and reflect on the riches of life through raw honesty, wry, slantwise humor, and deep, joy-filled gratitude.

Reviews

""Sarah Agnew's From the Mist is a crafted collection of intimate poems, many of which express familiar Australian landscapes, metaphors, and relational themes. Yet then, almost out the blue, a depth of grief and poignancy hits the reader in the midriff, pointing us toward our often-unspoken vulnerabilities or 'fragilities.' Here there are no easy solutions offered by the poet, only the possibility of an immanent, unassuming grace."" --Sean Gilbert, Director of Pastoral Theology and Ministry Practice, Uniting College for Leadership and Theology ""Sarah Agnew's poetry is full of heart, arteries woven around seasons where 'sunlight flicks the surface ripples, ' and veins running through the body of humanity, the giving, the guilty, the loved, and the lonely. Agnew's poems speak truths, question truths, keenly observe humankind in homes and in nature, in relationships and minds, 'in the bleak, or sunshine, / here and there and now.' From the Mist is a memorable poetry collection with depth, wit, and spirit."" --Jude Aquilina, author of On a Moon Spiced Night
