Notes

  • Author's note: In February 2010 temperatures reached 44 degrees centigrade in the south-west of NSW. In some towns there were mass deaths of flying foxes. They are not used to such high temperatures. Enclosed in their leather wings, they are unable to escape the heat.

    'Selected by one of Australia's most acclaimed poets, this inspired collection captures the richness and scope of present-day Australian verse. It features innovative and exciting poems - many published here for the first time - from our best-known poets as well as daring and insightful works from rising stars.

    Together they create a lively sense of conversation, of voices criss-crossing the continent, exploring the many themes that animated and inspired the nation's poets in 2010.' (From the Publisher's website)
