The fifth book in the Braziller Series of Australian Poets features a poet whose work has been instrumental to the evolution of Australian poetry. By turns philosophical, comic, elegiac and witty, Wallace-Crabbe has forged an utterly unique voice in contemporary poetry. His delight in language is sheer pleasure for the reader, and his wry wisdom indispensable. The Sunday Times called his work "poetry of fine technical resource, precise observation, and sly wit." Wallace-Crabbe is one of Australia's most celebrated poets. AUTHOR: Chris Wallace-Crabbe has published over twenty volumes of verse and thirty other books. He is the chair of the Australian Poetry Limited and the recipient of the Christopher Brennan Award for Literature and the Dublin Prize for Arts and Sciences. The Emeritus Professor in The Australian Centre at the University of Melbourne, he lives in Melbourne, Australia.
