Journal of the First Step
Description
These poems seek to evoke the often subtle yet ultimately profound shifts in awareness which occur during meditation and in daily life, as the non-dual perspective enables a seeing through, or past, the formulations of experience which a dualistic mind-set presents. And they reflect on both the personal and the societal implications which attend such changes.
'...in these days of look-alike poetry from so many younger poets, a 'new' poet's...collection which has a singular, individual feeling for the world comes as a jolt...Heald's work...is spare, precise, elegant and utterly his own.' Martin Harrison, ABR, June 1999. [re Body-flame]
'Heald has written his way into the front rank of contemporary poets with consistent integrity and intelligence.' - Judges' Comments, Queensland Premier's Prize, Arts Queensland Judith Wright Calanthe Award for a Poetry Collection, 2005 [re Focusing Saturn]
'This is a remarkable and original book...a daring and triumphant project...[Heald has written] poems of great clarity and subtlety, classically direct poems...' - Robert Gray, foreword to The Moving World.
