A beautiful collaboration between Australian poet Jennifer Dickerson and artist Robert Dickerson, Chiaroscuro pairs intimate, lyrical poems with monochrome drawings that echo and extend their emotional atmosphere.

Love, solitude, memory, longing and the quiet rituals of ordinary life unfold across the pages, each poem held in conversation with Dickerson's unmistakable figurative work. Published by Queen Street Fine Art, this is as much an art object as a book of poetry. The poems are understated and direct, while the illustrations carry much of the emotional weight, making it an appealing volume for readers interested in contemporary Australian poetry, artist books and finely produced small press publications.
