New Selected Poems - 9781922186454

Geoff Page's New Selected Poems offers a tight but generous sample from more than forty years' work by this major Australian poet. It does full justice to the poet's extraordinary range of subject matter and poetic modes - from his pastoral origins to the city life he prefers, from Australian history and politics through to religion, from the quietly lyrical to the brutally satirical - while being never less than deeply enjoyable.Geoff Page has become one of the very finest celebrators of our culture, in its broadest sense; of particulars of our history, and uniqueness. His work is full of great affection and is written without pretension or program.- Robert Gray, The Sydney Morning HeraldPage at this stage of his career is certainly one of our major poets, a poet who has made memorable poetry out of clarity, openness and a commitment to the formal possibilities of language.- Judith Beveridge.
