*Winner: Judith Wright Calanthe Award, 2022*
'If you want — and who doesn’t? — a poet who effects a transfiguration of the commonplace, it is Pam Brown.’ — Justin Clemens
'This is a lively, sharp, and entertaining collection from a veteran poet who has mastered her craft.' — Chris Arnold , Australian Book Review
Stasis Shuffle plays with style and experiments with form. The poems are fragmentary and discursive, knowing and wry; bursting with jokes, wordplay, strange observation, and personal revelation.
Pam Brown’s poetry maps the edges of thought, turning with a flash of discovery to think ‘what cannot be thought’. This is a significant new collection by one of Australia’s most singular and influential contemporary poets.
