This Train Will Stop
New poems dictated on the train, with the platform announcements left in as a second voice: a Merewether morning, a dream bell, a painted horse, two trees, an offering in stone.
Poetry
Ash Hall's poetry has been published through Studio La Primitive since 2017, with copies held in the National Library of Australia.
Collections and sequences
The Vitruvian PoemsIn development
A sequence taking its measure from the Vitruvian figure. The work draws on the mirror-makers of Murano, the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, and a residency at St Petroc's Retreat House, Buckfast Abbey.
Isolation
Short poems on habitat, skin, faith, chess, cats and the sea, each closed by a single word, ending with two carols rewritten around a Christmas star.
Meridian States
A journey into land: twenty-nine black and white photographs of Australian country, each paired with three short verses, opening with the first days of Genesis.
