Our Review… Gregory Day’s new collection, Southsightedness, is poetry to sink into slowly. Twice-shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award, Gregory Day writes with a deep intimacy and a lyrical beauty that makes you pause and notice the wonders of the earth and sea and question the divisions we’ve created between nature and culture. These poems are rooted in the local but resonate universally. You’ll find the everyday- family, animals, weather, sport, tourism sitting alongside history, imagination, and the fragile ecologies we live within. It’s a world both damaged and regenerating, drawn with honesty, warmth, and creative flair. Reading Southsightedness feels both grounding and uplifting. It’s a celebration of beauty and humour, truth and joy, and also a reminder of how everything is connected. This is poetry that not only delights but also offers a new way of seeing – and being in the world. A remarkable collection. Review by Nicole @ Great Escape Books
