Swimming in Words
Luke Icarus Simon’s compelling and groundbreaking work was first published in the 1980s and he has since become one of the quiet achievers of Australian literature. This collection explores the human condition, how we relate to family and partners and the shaping of our identity through the shifting currents of love, friendship and illness. Simon’s aim is to make sense of why we’re all here, masterfully navigating and negotiating the realities of our existential aloneness.
Swimming in Words brings together seventy of Simon’s poems, some previously published, many revised for this collection as well as completely new works such as the 4,000+-word eponymous prose poem.
