Your basket
Samuel Johnson in Marrickville
by Dennis Haskell
Dennis Haskell's first UK publication is a selection of poems from three full-length collections published in Australia. Closely-observed, lyrical, Romantic, humorous and above all fiercely honest, Haskell's poetry deals with the 'ordinary' — childhood, parenthood, love, sex, politics, friends, families, the sun-drenched landscape, the flash flood — in an extraordinary way. This is a powerful and memorable collection from one of Australia's most distinguished poets.
There's great satisfaction to be found in the restrained emotion and incisive observations of this finely tuned collection of poetry.
Unexpected delights include... two poems, No One Ever Found You and The Call, which — and this is not, of course, the purest literary criticism, but might be worth at least as much — move me to tears every time I read them.
