From\nthe death of the poet's father, to considering the complex, troubled, and often\ndistressing relationship between humans and non-human life, and through a sense\nof ghosts being materially present even when we doubt their existence, we\nundertake a journey in which reality and creative conception are in tension.\nThis tension is embodied in the figure of the poet Hölderlin, and also through\nmoments in Ovid's \u003ci\u003eMetamorphosis\u003c\/i\u003e, ongoing obsessions for Kinsella which\nhe constantly circles back to, reconsiders, and departs from. Whether\nconversing with ghosts or the living, with animals or plants, these are poems\nconcerned with transformative relationships with and within the “natural world.”\nKangaroos, echidnas, ducks, owls, deer, slow worms, and many other creatures\nfrom around the world inhabit these pages, finding their own way through to\nautonomy and self-declaration as the poet argues with himself over the dynamics\nof life and death.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 November 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 228 mm; Width 152 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turtle Point Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781885586285\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Kinsella","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67651200418042,"sku":"9781885586285","price":11.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9781885586285.jpg?v=1791259385","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/aporia-9781885586285","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
