Classic Australian poetry
24 Oct 1998
Format:Paperback
I would like to commend this book to all readers, whether you like poetry or not. The author, Billy Marshall-Stoneking, is one of Australia's greatest living poets, and here, in his book, Singing the Snake, he has offered poems of genuine feeling and insight. There is real knowledge here, and humour, and voices... one can almost smell the smoke of campfires... and the aroma is entrancing. In these wonderful poems (illustrated by the Pintupi elder, Tutama Tjapangarti) Marshall-Stoneking recounts his time among the Aborigines of Central Australia. This book is destined to be one of the great classics of Australian literature and I have no doubt of the world. It certainly deserves international recognition. His poem, The Seasons of Fire, which is included in this collection was awarded the Bill Harney Poetry Prize. I am pleased to recommend this book.
Les Murray, Poet
