Description:


Acclaimed poet Corey Wakeling's second
collection continues his inquiry into language and the spatial architectures of
history and culture. Set among 20th century ruins, the poems are
cast as if hallucinations: colonial-style houses are 'guarded by palm trees', Royal
Park 'detains two immoveable statues' while the 'Wheel of Fortune dizzies'. The
poems range throughout Melbourne and Western Australia, where the poet has
lived, and further afield too. Strong in its deployment of baroque imagery and
modernist citation, The Alarming Conservatory
uniquely captures the fear and pace of our contemporary condition.


'Wakeling revels in the high gruesome of
syntax – the Edward Gorey sheen of camp creepiness. I applaud his book's
energy, social satire, its forays into kitsch and pop.' – Kevin Killian


'One of Australia's most daring and baroque
writers, Corey Wakeling's ear for the nuances and transformative power of
language is truly remarkable. From the first poem in The Alarming Conservatory, Wakeling's work unsettles the way we
live and how we dwell in the everyday.' ­– Ann Vickery

Stands well on high-pile carpet
Color: Beige, Size: 5-panel
Great product! Stands up sturdy on my high-pile carpet. Not too heavy, not too light. It comes pre-assembled in a MASSIVE box, so just be aware. The condition was great, minus one spot that looks like the fabric weave was stained. Not noticeable. Kindof a pain to adjust, but that's not necessarily the fault of the product. Just a finnicky thing to get "just right."

The Best On-The-Go Toddler Snack!
My toddler loves these! I had been buying the smaller packs, but loved seeing the larger variety pack at a great value! I love the quality and ingredients of these snacks—I feel good giving them to my child. The range of flavors is a nice mix. I always have these on me when we're on the go and keep extras in our diaper bag.

Healthy and allergen free
My twins have an abundance of food allergies so finding snacks for them has been hard but these have been a staple in our house for over a year! They’re healthy and my kids LOVE them. I love that I can buy them in bulk on Amazon.
