Chatelaine is a collection ofpoems peopled by characters who, like a family portrait, resemble one anotherin foxed, latent ways. Their voices stalk outside of time and place, inhabitingthe genres of riddle, fragment, confession, lyric and ekphrasis, and returningto images of metamorphosis and occupation. The poemspresent a mossy, alien cosmology where aeroplanes are forest-like and'signifiers turn to pulp outside the window'. They also express a language andmood inherited through genealogy, an ethics of kin. With influencesfrom Kabir to New Wave Australian cinema, Lucie Brock-Broido to Oceanicsculpture, they ask: who does the poem belong to? Who lives there and who comesto visit?
