Plot

Product Description Astoundingly, this is the first collection of poetry by the major Australian poet Gwen Harwood to be published outside of her native country. The recipient of literary awards the world over, Gwen Harwood consistently draws on music and modern philosophy for inspiration. This collectionincludes most of her poems, as well as selections from her recent volume Bone Scan. Review `Whether she speaks humorously, affectionately, in sorrow or in remembrance, Gwen Harwood's voice is customarily cool and measured, an inner vivacity suffusing the trimly shaped verse. We are privileged to have her poems published here at last.' D. J. Enright From the Back Cover Gwen Harwood was born in Brisbane in 1920. It is astonishing that Collected Poems is her first book to be published outside Australia, where her work has won great acclaim. This collection includes most of her poems, including her recent volume, Bone Scan, which won the 1989 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for poetry.
