'In the introduction to this excellent study, Toby Davidson defines his subject as ‘the curious nexus between the servants of the Muse and those of Australian democracy’, a nexus exemplified in the life and career of John Curtin (xiii). Davidson is a great-grandson of Curtin. As the author of two volumes of poetry, Beast Language (2012) and Four Oceans (2020), and a critical monograph, Christian Mysticism and Australian Poetry (2013), he is perhaps uniquely qualified to explore this topic. With this book he has produced a notable contribution to the study of Australian political rhetoric and to the history of poetry in Australia, amply and rewardingly exploring connections between them.'
