- Summary:
-
In Glass Flowers, Diane Fahey explores many kinds of space - the enclosed spaces of rooms, galleries, hospital wards, prehistoric caves, the airy, flowing spaces of gardens, the sky's infinite life. The collection is pervaded by a sense of the transformational power of nature and of human creativity (there are many depictions of artists and their works). It foregrounds a search for healing and acceptance - at times in the face of intolerable facts, as in a sequence on the life and tragic death of Leo Seemanpillai, a Tamil refugee to Australia. The title poem is based on paintings by Dena Kahan inspired by the Glass Flowers exhibit at the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
