Awards for Works

y separately published work icon The Human Project : New and Selected Poems Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2010 Z1667927 2010 selected work poetry This collection places Langford’s work in a substantially new light – judicious, and in some cases significantly rewritten selections from his previous five books as well as a book-length selection of new poems make the case for a major poet in mid-career. The Human Project gives readers an opportunity to follow the trajectory of Langford’s poetry, which considers our experience in the face of what he sees as the hierarchical instinct of our biological inheritance. As well as meditations on the strangeness and fragility of the idea of the human, there are poems on the environment, on literature, and on contemporary Australian life.
