Beskrivelse
A third collection of poetry by writer/illustrator Darby Hudson that talks of cats, writing and the art life. Previously published in Best Australian Poems anthologies by Black Inc Books.
I need two things to happen while writing: my hands to write the words, and my heart to somehow see possibility in them. And this collusion to become a continual, self-perpetuating process. Until a whole sentence is formed - something from nothing. It's like blowing wind from my mouth into the sails of this strange boat I sit in. And against all science and logic, arriving in some faraway land.
"What Keeps you from the ledge? A person? A place? A poem? Darby Hudson's work does just that. A reason to continue. To be understood. Just by his words."
-Alexander Calvert, actor, Supernatural
"Darby Hudson's poems are radical in the sense that they are companionable, eager to communicate with the reader, and to celebrate humanity in all of its dimensions, textures, and states of being. You won't find those qualities in most contemporary poetry, which is laden with the intentionally obscure and preciously inscrutable. It's about time poetry became good company again, a feat fully realized by A Mountain of Tiny Courages."
-Joseph Massey, author of Rosary Made of Air
