A wonderful collection of Australian poetry and poets - past and present.

It contains selected poems by 68 authors, from the 19th century of Henry Kendall through the 20th centruy with poets such as with AD Hope and Judith Wright, to the present with contemporary poets and authors such as David Malouf, Randolf Stow, Fay Zwicky and Les Murray.

A recurring theme is way the these Australian poets poet 'connect to country'.

Included in the anthology is a short biography of each of the poets.
