โœฆ Synopsis


Francis Webb Collected Poems welcomes the return of Australia's most gifted and prodigious poet, Francis Webb, back into print. Webb wrote on varied subjects: the sea, postwar Australian cities, mental illness, colonial histories as well as religious and political figures, including St Francis and Hitler. His poems are written in a range of styles, from humorous short verse to epics and radio plays. The worlds he created โ€“ which draw on Australian landscapes, myths and religion โ€“ resonate with the universal quest for self-knowledge, and his words have been a source of inspiration for generations of writers and readers. This long-awaited, definitive collection of Webb's poems is the first edition to incorporate Webb's final changes โ€“ previously ignored by editors โ€“ to several of his poems written in 1969.
