Description
Discover the beauty of Marcelle Freiman's 'Spirit Level', a compelling collection of 37 brand new poems published in 2021 under Puncher and Wattmann. This poetic work serves as a vital tool for readers, much like a spirit level guides geologists and archaeologists in finding horizontal balance in their explorations. Freiman's poetry intricately weaves themes of memory, terrain, grief, and enlightenment, creating a tapestry of lived experiences that resonate deeply. Each poem artfully dances between the past and present, reflecting on personal and familial histories through vivid visual memories.
Whether you are a lover of contemporary poetry, a literary scholar, or someone exploring the profound connections between loss and light, 'Spirit Level' will inspire and move you. With its longer sequences, this collection examines the fragmented nature of human experience, while shorter lyric forms capture fleeting shards of memory and perception. Readers will appreciate how Freiman skillfully crafts connections and stories from lives both present and lost.

Description:
Geologists and archaeologists use spirit level tools to find horizontal levels in ground or rock. Similarly, the poems in Spirit Level search for elusive balance points between memory and lived terrain, between past and present lives, between grief and enlightenment. They are connecting threads of lived and familial histories, often perceived through remembered or exigent visual portals.
This is Marcelle Freiman’s third book of 37 new poems, a number of which have been published in well-known Australian literary journals. There are poems using longer forms or sequences, exploring the fragmented nature of human experience, making patterns and story from lives in the present or those which are lost. Other, shorter lyric forms articulate shards of memory and perception. Throughout the book, themes of loss seek a balance against moments of light.
