A diverse and wide-ranging anthology of the best of Australian poetry

'A very fine anthology, with exemplary introductions. It is refreshing to see how much has been done so well.' - Peter Pierce

This collection brings together great and familiar names with those that deserve better recognition.

This anthology includes the work of Judith Wright, Colin Thiele, David Unaipon, Bobbi Sykes, John Tranter, Douglas Stewart, and many more.
