1 y separately published work icon Kaleidoscopes Matt Hetherington , Canberra : Recent Work Press , 2020 20910700 2020 selected work poetry

'Matt Hetherington’s sixth collection is a palindromic homage to the personal, the political, and the personal as political. Filled with playful, sometimes cheeky poetry, Kaleidoscopes is also a book of relationships and gratitude, of things missing and abundant, and of a poet seeking to find his place in a difficult but ultimately joyful world.'
