Book Description

Award-winning poet Caroline Caddy's latest collection is an acutely observed meditation on her encounters with the world. From the south coast of Western Australia to China, her poems chart a breathtaking journey across landscapes, punctuated by departure and return. From these poems, the reader may be rewarded with 'that human thrill / of sensing a pattern beginning to form / the delight at finding it doesn't' ('Shanghai renga'). The Australian Book Review said Caddy's 'carefully crafted poems are refreshing journeys of discovery which open up unfamiliar places, bring them potently alive.' Quadrant praised her 'stunningly original descriptions' while The West Australian said Caddy 'is to be hailed as a master poet with a style and panache all of her own'.

Book Description

Australian poets have a wonderful way with words and their poems bring to life the iconic Aussie characters and unforgettable landscape that are part of our Australian heritage. Many of these - Mulga Bill, Clancy of the Overflow, The Ant Explorer, M'Dougal, The Shearer's Wife and Mr Smith - are larger than life. And the poets who created them - AB Patterson, CJ Dennis, Thomas E Spencer, Louis Esson and DH Souter - have become heroic figures in our pantheon of stars.The 60 poems in this collection appear in their original, or near original, form and are wide-ranging in their subject matter: animals, the countryside, the struggle of bush life, early transport, sport, growing old, being young and having fun with words! But whether they are humorous, serious or playful, they are simply a joy to read!No matter if we grew up reciting these classic poems at school, quote from them on important occasions or are meeting them for the first time, there is no doubt that these classic poems embody what it is to be Australian.Edited by Christopher Cheng and illustrated by Gregory Rogers.
