The Diwan of Nawid
The Diwan of Nawid
Description
'The Diwan of Nawid is like nothing else in Australian poetry - a spiritual text of sublime beauty in which we follow the struggles, questionings, and exhortations of Nawid, a character you will come to love for the way in which he lays before us his intense search for inviolable truths. Nawid is an 'everyman' but with one remarkable difference - he is a first-rate poet whose work contains the devotion and open-minded sagacity of a modern-day Kabir.' Judith Beveridge
'Sometimes a new voice springs from a poet. It's not quite the poet's own (although it is), and it's not quite another's voice (although it is). The Diwan of Nawid is a memorable collection of poems in such a voice: tender, witty, puzzled, consoling. It is unique in Australian poetry.' Kevin Hart
Praise for At the Foot of the Mountain
'... a wonder of compression and transformation ... a book with a rare depth of humanity and spirit that bears witness to its writer's fearless perceptiveness, and which always carries itself with compassion and wit.' Graeme Miles
'... innovative, intelligently creative, almost fearless.' Jennifer Harrison, Australian Book Review
Praise for The Brokenness Sonnets I-III & Other Poems
**The Age Poetry Book of the Year 2012**
'Love and joy are at the centre of McKimmie's world ... we should take some time with his works, because there are parts of them that are necessarily beyond their creator and there can be no higher praise.' Toby Davidson, Mascara Literary Review
