The backdrop of Carol and Ahoy is the Goulburn River and its floodplains around Shepparton. Ancestry and watchful reflection combine seamlessly in these poems, which are always in search of "what is tactile and particular", be it a gum tree, an agave or the past. Simon West's fluid, ever-shifting gaze will be familiar to readers of his previous volumes. Waking on a Summer Morning I asked if verse were no more than a toy, then heard the blackbirds carol and ahoy and the traffic's tidal snare drum sough. They were absolute, these tones, not thought's forgotten setting now, as they washed through open windows and the new-found arch of door jambs, and echoed round the room's old school of shadows. They were glory of music on the mind's cool parquet floor. Simon West is the author of three collections of poetry and an edition of the Italian poet Guido Cavalcanti. He is represented in anthologies including Thirty Australian Poets, Young Poets: An Australian Anthology, and Contemporary Australian Poetry.
