{"product_id":"broede-carmody-shouldering-pine","title":"Broede Carmody, Shouldering Pine","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShouldering Pine \u003c\/em\u003eis a book-length nature poem that is also a critical meditation on the pastoral. Specifically, the concept of the natural world as inherently calming or peaceful. It interweaves the anxieties of the personal and immediate with those of the collective and long-term. The book touches on general anxiety disorder, grief, climate change and the coronavirus pandemic. It is written in a minimalist fashion and can be consumed in one sitting. The idea is for the reader to feel out of breath, but for the experience to be over relatively quickly, like a panic attack. Alternatively, the reader can dip in and out as though each page is an individual poem. Importantly, the speaker’s trauma is never explicitly stated: alluding to the difficulty in finding anxiety’s source and pushing back against what’s been identified as ‘trauma porn’. Human, open and wise, \u003cem\u003eShouldering Pine\u003c\/em\u003e is unique in contemporary Australian poetry for its understated virtuosity, humour and relentless clarity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘Carmody’s youth gives him a fresher voice, an edgier perspective, than other more established poets while his wide-reading in literature is evident in the polyphony of influences audible behind his warmly-inflected poetic voice.’ –Alison Clifton, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStylusLit \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroede Carmody\u003c\/strong\u003e is a poet from Dhudhuroa country in north-east Victoria.
