As the poet herself puts it, this is 'art laid bare', performing how language works as language but also as a window onto those dark, human mysteries of being and feeling. Indeed, if On builds such a brilliantly decadent mansion out of poetry, exploiting striking imagery and playful wit, it is ultimately to provide a kind of refuge, 'lest the cave of night swallows you.'' - Maria Takolander 'Thuy On's poems are always wry, epicurean and defiant, and this book underlines her unique place in Australian poetry.
