Voices Verses Vices

<p>Grant van Wingerden was raised in rural and remote Western Australia which shaped his early years and his eventual fascination with the polar opposite city life. <em>Voices Verses Vices</em> collects the poems Grant wrote in exercise books during the eighties and nineties. These poems often channel the voices and perchance the vices of those with whom he had shared a space in boys' and men's hostels flats and inner city share houses. Crafted with a fond regard for the conventions of verse combined with an anarchic spirit calling down the Muse these works invite repeated readings.</p>
