Discover the evocative world of poetry with Alison Glenny's 'The Farewell Tourist.' This haunting collection, published by Otago University Press, invites readers to explore the boundaries of poetic expression. With dimensions of 150 x 230 x 6 mm and featuring 80 finely crafted pages, this paperback edition is a journey into a slightly surreal realm. In the 'Magnetic Process' sequence, Glenny introduces us to a man and woman navigating a polar landscape filled with snow, icebergs, and sinking ships, embodying themes of isolation and introspection. The scientific instruments and observations they utilize reveal a fragmented reality where conventional perspectives are challenged. Each poem is a gateway to the Atmosphere and Honeymoon histories, intertwining with footnotes that reference lost texts—the remnants of an obscured narrative filled with disintegration and icy melancholy. 'The Farewell Tourist' is not just a book; it's an experience that resonates with readers who seek deep, multi-layered reflections on life, emotion, and the natural world. This collection is perfect for poetry lovers and those looking for unique literary works that leave a lasting impression. Dive into the haunting beauty of Glenny's words today.

Pushing against the boundaries of what poetry might be, Alison Glenny’s The Farewell Tourist is haunting, many-layered and slightly surreal. In The Magnetic Process sequence a man and a woman inhabit a polar world, adrift in zones of divergence, where dreams are filled with snow, icebergs, and sinking ships.

By turns mysterious, ominous and evocative, they represent connections to an obscured narrative of disintegration and icy melancholy.
