The Poetry Of Australia

The common history of Australia almost always ignores the culture of the Native peoples and centres on its use as a penal colony by the British. From this peculiar false start as a nation has risen a much admired country that has richly given to the rest of the world. Here we publish an anthology of early Australian Poetry that illustrates the variety of poets and their thoughts. Engaging and engrossing it adds much to the canon of Australia’s culture.
