The Song of Globule is a collection of 80 sonnets, pursuing the oneiric preoccupations of a young femal protagonist living in Sydney who, if not suffering from multiple personality disorder, is certainly a fantasist. Her sensibilities are continuously informed by a chorus of legendary heroines, both real and mythological. The collection ends with a rendering of Ovid' s fifteen epistolary poems, Heroides, forming a coda to our heroine' s vertiginous journey.
' Stephen Oliver . . . is plainly a skilled and substantial poet with an admirable range in both genre and technique. ' -- Geoff Page, The Australian ' . . . one of the deepest and most enigmatic voices in New Zealand poetry. To be profound and enigmatic is this poet' s talent. ' -- Patricia Prime, Takahe
