Waiting for the Past

At first I felt Les Murray was not quite as laconically eloquent as in earlier volumes, but as I read into this collection I thought the writing was still brilliantly original. Wonderful turns of phrase and moves which make one perceive the world and the language anew.

fine thanks. timely

Quick, nice, good condition. Thank you!

Once again, Les Murray shows a sharp eye and keen ear. His poems find a richness in the mundane and the magnificent. Many themes are treated. One of the final ones, on domestic violence, was particularly startling. Those who like Murray's work, or who simply enjoy a poetic look on life, will find profit in these pages.
