AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In Blind Spots, Bruce Dawe turns his ironic wit and poetic skills to dramatize the unexpected termination of Kevin Rudd as our PM, Julia Gillard’s subsequent term of office, and Kevin Rudd’s return. Dawe’s sympathy for those subjected to the intense pressure of political office during these troubled times is evident through his tongue-in-cheek depiction of both Kevin and Julia.' (Publisher's blurb)
