Author Description

In their search for God and spiritual enlightenment, Australian poets have brooded about the meaning of life for generations. Not exclusively Christian in its orientation, this is an anthology that celebrates and questions. It offers a selection of Australian religious poetry, surreal and sober, mystical and sceptical, including well-known poets and some newer ones. Apart from traditional readers of Oxford anthologies and Australian verse, this should be of interest for different denominations, especially Catholics.
