AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Infinite Dirt presents the most outstanding poems from Friendly Street Poets’ 38th year. The anthology digs deep into the preoccupations of South Australia’s poets, from the ground surface right down to what T.S. Eliot called “the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being”'. (Publisher's summary)
