Gwen Harwood has long been recognized as one of Australia's most distinguished poets, and the work collected in this volume won her a host of domestic poetry awards. Born in Brisbane in 1920, her training was musical and she was a professional organist for a time. In later life she studied philosophy and both of these interests are reflected in her wonderfully witty and articulate poems. This book is intended for usual poetry readers, libraries, women readers, students. Particularly interesting for students of philosophy and contemporary music.
