Wing Collection

The Wing Collection presents a broad overview of the distinctive contribution Diane Fahey has made to Australian poetry over the course of thirty years. It offers extensive selections from her work on birds and insects, on the worlds of myth and story, and on meetings with river and sea. A search for spiritual touchstones guides her many-layered explorations of the mysteries of place, time and transformation. Diane Fahey is one of Australia's foremost poets. She has published eight books of poetry, the most recent being Sea Wall and River Light, winner of the ACT Government's Judith Wright Prize. Other awards include the Mattara Poetry Prize, the John Shaw Nielson Poetry Award, and the Wesley Michel Wright Award. She lives in a bayside village on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria.
