The forty-eight poems that comprise Letters from the Periphery, Alex Skovron' s seventh book-length collection, are populated by a variety of voices speaking across many settings - from 1960s Sydney to the cafes of today' s Melbourne, from the Trojan War and Byzantine Aleppo to the dark forest of Dante' s Inferno, from eighteenth-century Lisbon to Vienna at the turn of the twentieth, from the American Civil War to warfronts of our time, and of the future. A richly diverse collection, this book also marks Skovron' s return to the longer poem - notably the title-sequence, featuring a mysterious stalker versed in philosophy; the suite The Light We Convert, grounded in the world of nineteenth-century music; and the poet' s translation of the opening Canto from The Divine Comedy.
