Moon Wrasse
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Moon Wrasse is a voyage through transformation and disenfranchised grief: parenthood ambivalence, queer infertility, female-to-male gender transition from the perspective of a life partner; a navigation of identity in a time of climate crisis. It is also a love song to reading in the dialogic tradition of the lyric mode. Alert to questions of intersubjectivity and 'what shapes us' these poems arise from encounters with Australian and international poets -- chief among them, Denise Levertov and Rainer Maria Rilke -- as well as with contemporary philosophy and science, popular music and ecological non-fiction.
These are poems that speak back, speak to, read with and whisper alongside; that seek
to sing the emergent self into being. They are deeply engaged with the notion that we are shaped by the voices around us as well as those we carry within.
'Moon Wrasse is bounteous, sinuous and queer, haunting in its embrace of grief, shifting identities, and transformation at both personal and planetary levels. The poems create a supple chemistry between the visceral and the uncanny through various transformational exchanges across animal, vegetable and mineral ecospheres. Here is an invigorating fertility of voice, especially notable in the book's agile sonics, its hum of presence, and its ardent dialogue with other poets and writers. This is a striking and richly lyrical debut, vibrant in its singing, intensely mobile, and compelling in its recuperative gestures.' -- Jill Jones
'Willo Drummond's poetry is exhilarating for its balance of the visceral, the intuitive and the intellectual. Intimate and tender experience is framed and reframed with deep reading both of other poets' work and the more-than-human world, in innovative ways.' -- Felicity Plunkett
