The poems in Domestic Interior draw together varieties
of suburban experience and imagination, charting places that are vibrant,
plangent and comical. Award-winning poet and essayist Fiona Wright shows her
acute concern for spaces general and particular, showing the small details that
build our everyday worlds via story, memory and experience. In her poems these
details hold their thrall through the moments of charged emotional extremity we
encounter across our lives, whether through dream or desire, illness or struggle.
Wright traverses family and its rituals, the spaces of love and friendship, the
sites of everyday experience: houses, roadways, clinics, shopping centres. These
works are mostly set in Sydney, in the inner suburbs where Wright now lives and
in the south-western suburbs where she grew up. Domestic Interior captures these sites as the locations of love as
well as sadness, of adversity as well as succour and strength.
