‘Angela Gardner’s first book introduces a promising new talent to Australian poetry. Invigorated by compelling investigations of memory and politics, her poems are intimate and lucid reflections on nature, family, art, science and the imagination.
“Parts of Speech” are in good hands.’ Peter Minter
‘Every time I look at Angela Gardner’s work it appears more wonderful. It is sure-footed, permeated by science and other realms of knowledge that poetry often avoids. There’s a world at work here; not a parallel universe but our own, refracted brilliantly.’ Laurie Duggan
