A Castle in Spain

Daniel Neumann was born in England in 1951 of German-born parents and has lived most of his life in Australia in Canberra and then in Melbourne where he works as a psychologist and as a musician. His poems respond to landscapes texts paintings music and conversations real or imaginary. They inhabit spaces from Australia to ancient Greece and hear voices ranging from bush hermits to opera; and they speak with a feeling for distance and the passage of time.
