Kenneth Slessor's Collected Poems brings together for the first time the diverse poetic achievement of one of Australia's finest and most accomplished poets. Slessor's work takes the reader on an imaginative journey from the satiric to the lyrical, from the tragic to the light-hearted, from the back streets of Sydney to the battlefields of World War II.
These are poems rich with image and intelligence, flooded with a heightened sensory awareness and a strong power of rhythm, music and sound in language. Collected Poems reveals the range, power and flexibility of this exceptional poet, and the comprehensive notes in this edition make his work fully accessible.
