An Open Book celebrates the power of poetry and reaffirms David Malouf as one of Australia's most celebrated and beloved writers. This is only David Malouf's third new poetry volume in nearly 40 years. As one of Australia's greatest living poets, Malouf continues to meditate and reflect on themes of mortality and memory. The poems in An Open Book are attentive and evocative, vital and beautiful, revisiting and reimagining some of the key themes that have resonated with readers over his impressive career. Like the 'small comfort of light ... as night comes on', Malouf's new poems hold close the precious and tender. Only a few of these poems have ever been published, so most of the collection will be completely new to readers everywhere.… (mais)

I can’t help but feel for the lonely boy in ‘Odd Man Out’ and for the man in his golden prime/ cruelly dumped and broken in ‘Pyrra’. There is loss too in the poems that trace Malouf’s travels in Europe: in ‘On the Move, 1968’, he mourns a lost love from half a century ago:
I miss it still,
and daily, as I miss you
at moments in the heat
of the pavement as I wait
in the traffic of another
city, in another
decade in another century
and have now for how long
is it?

Other poems I liked include ‘House and Hearth’ – beginning with the small household gods we live with, and page 33 next to it, the homage to the simplicities of bread in ‘The New Loaf’:
Each day delivers it
new-risen like the sun
out of centuries
of homely experiment


I also liked ‘Incident on Myrtle Street’ – about the scent of a burglar breaking into the house, and ‘The View from the Winter Palace’ from a room that knows nothing of sea-light or sea breezes. And also ‘Kite’, with Malouf’s homage to his mother lost for the afternoon/ in another century, drowned/like Ophelia in her book.
There’s lots to like in this collection.
