AbstractHistoryArchive Description
From back cover: '... By bringing together all of [Harland's] poems and prose-pieces for the past ten years, this volume reveals the unity of the work as a whole. The poems now stand in natural chronological development, while the prose-pieces (in 'Stories of the Later World') unfold a theme of symptomatic modern experience. Neither poems nor prose-pieces have much in common with any other current Australian writing. Their context is international: Rilke, Kafka, Neruda, Alberti, and Michaux are some of the discernible influences.'
