Description
This is Les Murray's first new volume of poems since 2002's Poems the Size of Photographs. In it, we find Murray at his near-miraculous best. The collection exhibits both Murray's unfailing grace as a writer and his ability to write in any voice, style, and genre. There are story poems, word-plays, history, myth-makings, aphoristic fragments, and domestic portraits.
The subjects of these poems range from Asperger's Syndrome to Germaine Greer to Japanese sword blades. As ever, Murray's evocation of the natural world is unparalleled in its inventiveness and virtuosity.
