Rezensionen
Read this slowly, a few poems a week while commuting. I realised on Les Murray's death last year that I did not know his work at all, and thought I'd better remedy that omission, I'm so glad I did as the poems are beautiful and evocative and somehow very Australian.
The most brilliant, awe-inspiring meditation on alienation I've ever read.
