Observations of language in the Australian ­environment. This small book of wry verse shines light into dark corners. The poet distils a seven year fascination with crows, into tales that weave from the Tablelands of Northern NSW to Tasmania. One strength of this collection of poetry and images is its diversity of form and content. A topical range through nature, politics and ­autobiography-complete with humour, a sharp view of a shifting terrain. These pages travel ­readers from sweet reflective spaces to sardonic and scathing verse. It's a chance to grow feathers and awaken to the ­whispers of an ancient land. An ideal read in a time of ecological and ­existential crisis. Beautifully illustrated - a bespoke gift.
