‘Like you,
I have been through many skins, a cicada
sings and I understand
what it is to be like the onion
but I only cry when you do.’

The Unknown, Great is the new collection of poetry from Anna Forsyth. Set between Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia, these are poems that chart the intersections between the resonances of relationships, the complications of love, and the vibrations of place. With precise, evocative imagery, The Unknown, Great offers us glimpses of the world refracted through the lens of Forsyth’s keenly observed poems and subtle, often moving reflections on the self.
