The Kangaroo Farm

<p>“This is fluent writing which is not pre-cast in any obvious ways and rarely brought up against its own mannerisms – calm intelligent long-lined verse letters that engagingly bring us to a world where the ‘sea-dusks are sea-dusks flowing far inland’.” —Nigel Wheale <em>London Review of Books</em></p><p>“Harrison should be read as substantial Australian poet. His poetry is something new something that opens up what poetry can be.” —Petra White<em> Cordite Poetry Review </em></p><p>“This notion of work runs throughout Harrison’s poetry. There is a sense that each poem is a hard-won moment of perception even while offering to the reader an enviable translucence a clear vision of the world in its contingency and temporal flux. At the heart of these profound and ever-meticulously crafted poems this long meditation into the mechanics of conception and perception is the warmth and flesh of the complexity of life and being plainly spoken.” —Michael Brennan</p>
