'Ron Pretty’s new and selected collection, 101 Poems is published by Pitt Street Poetry. Pretty has been writing and publishing for over 50 years, and this new book contains a selection of the best poems from his eight earlier collections and five chapbooks, plus a selection of new poems. The concerns that motivated his earlier work are displayed here as the poems explore family, ethical and political issues, other cultures and our own, and music.
'A summing up of a life’s work; this will be his last published collection.' (Publication summary)
