Publisher's Synopsis
This selection of A.D. Hope's poetry was published in 1992, the first in Australia since 1973. It includes pieces from all his major collections, including The Wandering Islands, first published in 1955, his subsequent collections A Late Picking, Antechinus, The Age of Reason, and Orpheus (1991). This collection provides an overview of a career that spanned over sixty years, and is a chance to look anew at an enigmatic and compelling figure widely regarded as one of the finest English-language poets of the twentieth century.
