John Kinsella portrays the lives and landscapes of modern rural Australia in emotionally charged poems which reinvent the possibilities of language. He has dusted down the pastoral, and made it a vibrant, contemporary form. Poetry Book Society Recommendation. ‘Astonishing fecundity and splendour. John Kinsella is a prodigy – a kind of fountain of Parnassus all in himself. His range, his cognitive music, his variety are unique in a poet of his age in the English-speaking world today…There are only a handful (or fewer) English language poets of his generation whose work is already so original, so fully formed, and so clearly destined to become part of the central tradition’ – Harold Bloom
