Description
Dive into the enchanting world of 'Jam Sticky Vision', a remarkable collection of poetry by acclaimed poet Luke Beesley. This brand-new edition, published by Giramondo in 2015, serves as a delightful successor to Beesley's previous work, 'New Works on Paper.' In this poetic journey, Beesley masterfully blends personal observation, vivid memory, and compelling anecdotes, all while drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of American film, rock music, and visual arts. The poetry transcends mere artistic expression and invites readers to explore how these influences permeate everyday life in contemporary Melbourne.
Each poem unfolds like a revealing narrative, creating an uncanny universe between reality and imagination. Readers will discover surprising encounters and fleeting details that captivate and resonate. Beesley's writing illuminates the ordinary, breathing life into objects, sensations, and colors, animating words with vibrant clarity. Critics hail Beesley's work as 'healthy reading'—a fresh and nutritious menu of literary delights that is anything but 'processed.' With each page, immerse yourself in intimate disclosures that remain delightfully public in openness.

Description:
"He seems to
start writing a poem and then becomes shocked, stunned, by a word he's just put
down, unable to go past it, as if discovering the letters for the first time,
as if the poem has somehow written him." Kirsten Krauth, The Australian
Jam Sticky
Vision is the successor to Luke Beesley's highly-regarded third book of
poetry, New Works on Paper, published
by Giramondo in 2013. The poems in this collection blend observation, memory
and anecdote – with particular interest in American film, rock music, visual
arts and poetry, and the way they inhabit the poet's everyday life in
contemporary Melbourne. They create 'an uncanny universe', which hovers
somewhere between the real world and that of the poet's imagination, characterised
by surprising encounters and fleeting details rendered with the utmost clarity,
full of intimate disclosures and yet somehow public in its openness, where
everything is animated by liveliness – objects, sensations, colours, even words
as they appear on the page. As one critic has noted, "Beesley's books make for
very healthy reading. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, the menu not overly
processed – no greasy late-night noir." As another has written, "his windows open out to an 'other' view, wholly
within our grasp but difficult to articulate".
