Product Description
This invaluable collection of essays, letters, poems, and reminiscences celebrates the life and poetry of Robert Adamson, undeniably one of Australia’s greatest poets. It contains tributes from David Malouf, Susan Wyndham, Gregory Day, Devin Johnston, Michael Palmer, Andrew Zawacki, Anthony Lawrence, Stephen Edgar, Gig Ryan, Richard Tipping, and Kevin Hart among others, all of whom attest to the great affection in which he was held across the generations and across continents. Many poets in this volume celebrate his connection to the Hawkesbury River, his ability to transform it into a place of profound metaphors. The essays, letters and reminiscences reflect not only his standing as a major poet, but also as a publisher, an editor, a scholar, a mentor, and friend to so many poets. This is a landmark volume celebrating Adamson’s outstanding influence and legacy.
