AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This evocative poetry collection is cleverly interspersed with prose poems that help set the scene for the poems. The collection follows a young poet through his daily life, and the poem s subtitle of a Twenty-Twenty Vision is an apt description of the two sides of story we see both the creative, poetic side and the prose poetry fact side. The publication of this title was supported by a grant from the Australia Council. This collection will appeal to lovers of poetry who enjoy seeing the everyday life of a young poet described through both intriguing verse and prose poetry. Essential for libraries with holdings in contemporary poetry.'(Publication summary)
