Blame Vermeer by Vincent O'Sullivan epub fb2 djvu

These brief, often biographical verses from one of New Zealand's foremost poets are peppered with playful surprises, worldly observations, and literary allusions while reflecting a painterly eye for vivid scenic detail. Sometimes playful, sometimes cinematic, these poems dazzle, taking in the measured eye of a fine short-story writer, the awareness of a critic, the details of a fine novelist and essayist, and the strict observance of form that comes with being a continual teacher—and therefore eternal student—of language.
