A House by the River journeys through the six years Diane Fahey lived with her mother, Patricia, as her carer, and ends at a point five years after her death. Both the challenges and radiant moments of the relationship of mother and daughter are given enduring form in poems that hold the tension between hope and truth, charting a gradual relief - then loss, and its aftermath. The same life-tide that swept usapart has brought us to this grateful,elegaic love, the hub we turn on - Demeter and Kore becomingeach other, held in a graced affinitybetween loss and loss. Twilight summer.- 'Breath' A House by the River is also, in part, a record of the poet's creative life, sustained by the worlds of art and nature. Along with the garden surrounding her mother's house, Fahey celebrates the wider natural environment of Barwon Hears, opening out - as in Sea Wall and River Light - large perspectives of river, sea and sky, with the presence of birds an unfailing inspiration. But the central power of the book lies in its engagement with the mysteries of healing and spiritual resilience, as Fahey witnesses to the courage and grace of her mother's last years, so leaving a memorable portrait of her. What would I need to know, to wear sunlightas richly, sparsely, as you do now:your face tilted to receive the wind's balm;that look of earthed serenity; bodypoised as a cormorant's, wings outstretched.- 'Garden Portrait' Diane Fahey is one of Australia's foremost poets. She has been the recipient of various poetry prizes and literary grants, as well as of writer's residences in Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Australia. Diane lives in Clifton Springs, a bayside village on the Bellarine Peninsula in the state of Victoria. Her website:
