JENNY POLLAK
Clarion
Clarion is an eco-poetic suite of words and images written and created by Australian artist and poet Jenny Pollak. It focuses on two extreme weather events since 2020 that decimated a small forest of casuarinas on the western foreshores of Pittwater, just north of Sydney. The poetry speaks in the voice of a woman as she negotiates her relationship with a landscape in crisis. The powerful spectre of the sea as a beautiful and destructive principle sits quietly behind the poems as the instrument of change.
This magnificent collection of images and poems… is a love song, composed in syllables of sand, salt and sticks. …. Jenny Pollak reminds us that Country is still savage and strong, capable of great compassion. She reminds us that a relationship with Country is still vital and possible. Judith Nangala-Crispin
Available as Digital book (downloadable PDF) or Softcover book
