Description
Balancing Acts gathers together interviews and conversations between Gerald Dawe and a wide cast of interlocutors between 1995 and 2020. Drawn from exchanges on television and radio, print and online media, these conversations with fellow poets, critics, journalists, colleagues and friends, are a testament to Dawe's generous, open-hearted and open-minded approachability as a poet for whom the ' artful way of making' poetry has always been informed by an attitude of just ' getting on with it' . In the same way that memory, for him, is ' not just about the past' but involves ' a route into the present', these fascinating interviews and conversations provide an insight into the poet on the go, in the process of making unforgettable poetry happen.
