As kids, we looked forward to it each year. Visiting the house wasn’t just a quick, “been there, done that,” item to mark off our holiday to-do list. The house became the embodiment of Christmas spirit. Nearly every inch of the front yard was decorated with moving and singing elves, reindeer, penguin, and dozens of other Christmas creatures. It glowed with thousands upon thousands of lights. During the holiday season, though, the house transformed from ordinary to extraordinary. The house was in a neighborhood much like many others in Simi Valley, and during any other time of the year you might drive past the house without giving it a second glance. One of these traditions was our annual visit to the “Christmas House.” The Simi Valley “Christmas House” We were starting a new family together, building new relationships that would be long-lasting and wonderful, and along with this came new family traditions.

The uncanny effect is of a kind of dual register of Tranter’s voice and of the original poet’s words, of the ghost of a voice from the canonical anthologies of English poetry and the up close and personal voice of a contemporary Australian. Tranter wrote two terminals based on Matthew Arnold’s canonical Dover Beach, and the results are both intriguing and deeply ambivalent examples of the poetic voice, eviscerating the original and rewriting what remains.
