From the natural world to war and politics, from memories of childhood to bittersweet snapshots of everyday life, from wry asides to fantastical flights of narrative fantasy - Kona Macphee applies her versatile and polished technique to a characteristic diversity of themes in her second book of poems. The meticulously crafted lyrical poems of Perfect Blue reflect the growing power of a distinctively original, musical, and compassionate voice that laments the transience and fragility of life while celebrating the joy of truly living it.
