About the Book

Sky Poems is a brilliant suite of poems which utilises a convention, part-Chagall and part-Superman, to present us to ourselves as we really are. It is Surrealism with an especially deft way of handling the “real”… His metaphor shows us what “heightened” reality truly means. There has been nothing quite like these poems in Australian poetry before … Sky Poems should be read by anyone who cares for scope and scale in poetry, and who enjoys language at full stretch’ — Peter Porter.
