Taller When Prone is Les Murray's first volume of new poems since 2006's The Biplane Houses. With characteristic grace and dexterity, these poems combine a mastery of form with a matchless ear for the Australian vernacular.

Description
Taller When Prone is Les Murray's first volume of new poems since 2006's The Biplane Houses. With characteristic grace and dexterity, these poems combine a mastery of form with a matchless ear for the Australian vernacular.
Many evoke rural life - its rhythms and rituals, the natural world, the landscape, and the people who have shaped it. There are travellers' tales, elegies, meditative fragments, and satirical sketches.
Above all, there is Murray's astonishing versatility, on display here at its exhilarating best.
