Domestic Interior
Domestic Interior
Many of the poems in Domestic Interior were written around the same time as Fiona Wright's award-winning collection of essays Small Acts of Disappearance, and they share with that work her acute sensitivity to the details that build our everyday world, and hold us in thrall, in highly charged moments of emotional extremity. Anxiety lurks in domestic spaces, it inhabits the most ordinary objects, like a drill bit or a phone charger, it draws our attention to the bruised body and its projecting parts. The elements of language take on new intensity in a series of 'overheard' poems fraught with their speakers' vulnerability and their attempts at resolution. Wright walks us through the places where this drama unfolds, in shopping centres, cafes, hospitals, and bedrooms, in the inner-city suburbs of Sydney where the poet now lives, and the south-west where she grew up, presenting them as sites of love as well as sadness, and succour and strength as well as unease.
Fiona Wright is a writer, editor and critic from Sydney. Her book of
essays Small Acts of Disappearance
won the 2016 Kibble Award and the Queensland Literary Award for non-fiction,
and was shortlisted for the Stella Prize and the NSW Premier's Douglas Stewart
Award. Her first poetry collection, Knuckled,
won the 2012 Dame Mary Gilmore Award. She has recently completed a PhD at
Western Sydney University's Writing & Society Research Centre.
