AustLit

'In this collection of poems, observations of the Australian landscape and memories of times past are complemented by portraits of people and visions of the cosmos. Explorations of the inner world of the spirit are balanced by observations and feelings evoked by the colours and textures of the land and sea. The details and emotions of our heritage are captured in the stories and struggles of our forebears. From his own experiences, Geoff Graetz paints rich, poetic pictures of life in city and country Australia, past and present, and gives reflections on a life well spent.' (Publication summary)
