Gwen Harwood (1920-1995) is one of the best loved Australian poets of the twentieth century - and a fierce prankster, who published poems under half-a-dozen names and identities. This title includes a selection of her poetry from 1943 to her death that makes a range of the work accessible to poetry-lovers in the northern hemisphere.
Glittering with inventive wit and subversive humor, this evocative collection of poetry explores themes of yearning and loss. The reflections range in scope from Mozart to the Tasmanian landscape and from geese to heavyhearted love. The poet's many pseudonyms are fresh identities that come together in this comprehensive oeuvre of one of Australia's most brilliant female artists.
