David Adès new collection “Afloat in Light”

Congratulations to long-standing FSP member, David Adès, who has a new book of poetry out:  Afloat in Light produced by the prestigious University of Western Australia Publishing (UWAP).

David now lives in Sydney, having returned to Australia recently after several years in Pittsburgh, USA. He hopes to visit Adelaide again later this year.

David Adès’ luminous and honest collection, Afloat in Light, is chiefly a celebration of fatherhood and of paying attention, utilising Simone Weil’s notion that ‘attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity’. The collection extends to existence and loss, and a discourse on motive and meaning.Click for more
