Subtitled The Belated Love Poems of Thean Morris Caelli
— a neglected 20th Century poet—this collection represents the merging of two contemporary Antipodean poets into the consciousness of a mysterious third imaginatively inhabited by many. Within the broadly surrealist tradition of experimentation and co-operative writing the collaborative Thean of mixed age, gender and genealogy channels polyphonous voices into an inclusive and complex vision. In this Opus #1, s/he participates in a rich diversity of dialogues — between a Japanese woman and her ghost-lover; between flawed dreams and their fracture into waking; between the individual speaker and the poet(s) he or she becomes only when heard or read. How Does a Man Who is Dead Reinvent His Body?
is a remarkable departure for two of the finest poets from Australia's current middle generation.
