| Summary |
Philip Hodgins is a younger writer who has already made a unique place for himself in Australian poetry, with his anti-Romantic, unwavering depictions of the reality of farming life in this country. Here, in Dispossessed, his verse novella, the reader is more than ever conscious of the contrasting subtlety, understatement, and suggestion in the way that he handles this theme. Dispossessed is told in the laconic and brutally unillusioned style of a rural anecdote, but in its form and its perceptions it shows a high level of sophistication |
