A Failure of Flight is a remarkable collection of poetry by a remarkably adept poet. The collection is structured in two parts. The first part, Missing the Net, assembles a group of poems based on a child-like witnessing of everyday life and weaves a vision of experience which is both unflinchingly honest and strangely beautiful. The second part of the collection, Set the Pull of Gravity, explores and expands the themes and experiences of the first part in a re-creation and re-imagining of the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. It is an extraordinary achievement.
Michael Milligan's poetry is searchingly contemplative, imaginative, poignant, and still. He presents the human experience, the vile, the magical, and imbues it with a calm, sorrowful majesty.
