Patience is a key ingredient. Judith Beveridge, interviewed in - TopicsExpress



          

Patience is a key ingredient. Judith Beveridge, interviewed in Issue #6, is among Australias most admired poets. This year saw the release of her collection DEVADATTAS POEMS, a new chapter in her Buddha Cycles, but also a departure from earlier work: one book telling one story in one voice, shifting the poetrys gaze away from the search for enlightenment and peace, on to their corruption and violation. The central character of Devadatta is the Buddhas envious and power-hungry cousin, who even tries to murder the Buddha several times. Here, you can read Judith Beveridges reflections on the writing of the book, on how it relates to her earlier work, and on what it takes to create a character who is deeply opposed to the ideals expressed around him. https://contrappassomag.wordpress/2014/12/18/from-issue-6-an-interview-with-judith-beveridge/
