The final, posthumous collection of poems from Australia's unofficial poet laureate.

In a poetic gift from beyond the grave, Les Murray left a trove of last poems. These are poems he was working on up to his death, as well as work uncovered from his scrapbooks and files.

Various, intriguing and moving, this is a wonderful final collection from Australia's greatest poet - including a title poem that calls up the spirit of continuous creation, 'out of all that vanishes and all that will outlast us'.

Continuous Creation is the perfect gift for long-time fans of Murray and new readers alike.
