Publishers Description: A stunning new edition of this essential collection from the bush balladeer A stunning collection from one of Australias favourite poets. Readers have long embraced the passionate energy of Henry Lawsons poems. this collection showcases the very best of Lawson - heart-rending tales of the human condition, rousing poems of social protest, images of comic characters, and classic portraits such as Middletons rouseabout, as well as some of Lawsons lesser-known works, including the poignant verse addressed to his lost love, Hannah thornburn. Henry Lawson was a man burdened by poverty and deafness and haunted by the spectres of alcoholism and madness. Against his tortured life, the spirit, humour and understanding evident in this collection show the breadth of Lawsons achievement and demonstrate why he has endured as one of Australias great poets.
