The Merino Princess book. This collection bring together the best of the author's five previous. Heavy on the imagery, which does seem to be a characteristic of Hall's work. Whenever I read something of hers it usually takes me about 10-15 pages to sink into the piled-up nature of it, image piled on image like lots of little tesserae, but it's vivid and colourful and I like that. I liked "the bomber pilot" poem best I think, also "duck" and "modo de volar".

From The Merino Princess: selected poems (Victoria University Press, 2004). The poems of Bernadette Hall are seductive. Reproduced by permission of the publisher. Their images are luminous, there is an intense visual clarity with underlying meanings that can't quite be deciphered, all held in a hypnotically musical structure. Her poetry has been described as 'like a bird listening/to sounds underground,//probing with little jabs for the worm. There is the music, then the hidden, revealed by degrees; but it's those 'little jabs' that give her poems their sharp edge.
