Description:


Acclaimed poet Corey Wakeling's second
collection continues his inquiry into language and the spatial architectures of
history and culture. Set among 20th century ruins, the poems are
cast as if hallucinations: colonial-style houses are 'guarded by palm trees', Royal
Park 'detains two immoveable statues' while the 'Wheel of Fortune dizzies'. The
poems range throughout Melbourne and Western Australia, where the poet has
lived, and further afield too. Strong in its deployment of baroque imagery and
modernist citation, The Alarming Conservatory
uniquely captures the fear and pace of our contemporary condition.


'Wakeling revels in the high gruesome of
syntax – the Edward Gorey sheen of camp creepiness. I applaud his book's
energy, social satire, its forays into kitsch and pop.' – Kevin Killian


'One of Australia's most daring and baroque
writers, Corey Wakeling's ear for the nuances and transformative power of
language is truly remarkable. From the first poem in The Alarming Conservatory, Wakeling's work unsettles the way we
live and how we dwell in the everyday.' ­– Ann Vickery

Great crowd pleaser
This product does what it is intended to do. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is because when the opener is near the end of opening a bottle, it seems that the battery is dieing out but it has never failed to open a bottle. The aerator is wonderful and very impactful to the flavor of your wine. The charger/stand is nice and looks good on the counter. Love the built in charger feature.

Replacement for the older model - so far, so good
I had the previous version of this and the battery wore out after a couple of years. This one seems to be working very well so far. It's simple to use. Cut the wine bottle foil with the included cutter and just push the opener down on the top of the bottle. The screw automatically inserts in the cork, pulling it form the bottle, and then reverses itself to eject the cork. Unlike the old version, there's no button to press, it's all automatic. Flip the opener over and use the included airtight tops when you want to recork the bottle: it will vacuum out all the air in the bottle to prevent spoilage. Makes a great gift for a "wine enthusiast".

This is a really nice gift set
It’s a nice little wine gift set. Got it for myself after taking more interest in wine and wanted to get the kinda experience you get at a winery but at my own home Would suggest for any beginner friendly gift set and it doesn’t take up a lot of space either
