In the other I just (’just’) want them to be aesthetically terrific - organized abstractly or musically, so as to be abstract and musical’’...bitchy, dreamy, acute ... a deeply serious - & witty & almost self-cancelling - consciousness at work’ - Lyn McCredden’philosophical rigor and lyric enthusiasm - one of the most distinctive voices in Australian poetry’ - John Forbes’The modesty and wit of the poems, even as they think ’grand’ thoughts, now seems to me central’ - Laurie Duggan'Excellent - cool.' - Amelia Dickins 3

  • Starting At Basheer's
    Ken Bolton
    Starting At Basheer’s represents in part a determined ‘tightening up’ of the language and sentiment brought to the author’s work.

  • A Whistled Bit of Bop
    Ken Bolton

'Double Trouble' deals with time and timing, art, friendship; closing the collection, 'Triumvirate' works with similar elements but in a context that is political and historical. Bolton acknowledges...
