| Summary |
The work of three Geelong poets, while the poems in the book are happily local , they also encompass a much larger world. Poets are citizens of the universe and are drawn to haunted and enchanted places of cultural history. "Readers will delight in the work of three men who value the word for its music and its capacity to touch mystery" -- back cover |
