'THE SONG OF GLOBULE. These 80 sonnets pursue the oneiric preoccupations of a young female protagonist living in Sydney who, if not suffering from multiple personality disorder, is certainly a fantasist. Her sensibilities are continuously informed by a chorus of legendary heroines, both real and mythological. Globule, it must be remembered, is a shape-shifter who glides seamlessly between past, present and future. Oliver’s rendering of Ovid’s fifteen epistolary poems, Heroides, into the closing sonnets of this book, integral to the vertiginous journey of our heroine, is nothing less than a tour de force.'
