As Derek Walcott said of Murray\'s work, "There is no poetry in the English language now so rooted in its sacredness, so broad-leafed in its pleasures, and yet so intimate and conversational."About the Author Les Murray (1938-2019) was a widely acclaimed poet, recognized by the National Trust of Australia as one of the nation\'s treasures in 2012.
Whether Murray is writing about a boy on a walkabout hiding from grief, a sounding whale "spilling salt rain," or leaves that "tread on the sky," the great Australian poet\'s sense of wonder, his ear for the everyday, his swiftness of thought, are everywhere in these pages.
Here, syntax, sense, and sound combine with such acrobatic grace that his Poems render the familiar into the unknown, the unknown into the revelatory.
With quicksilver verse, he conjures his rural past, the life of the poor dairy boy in Australia, as he simultaneously feels the steady tug of aging, of time pulling him back to the present.
