"A new book of short poems by Australia's master poet" "Brief, that place in the year" "when a blossoming pear tree" "with its sweet laundered scent" "reinhabits wooden roads" "that arch and diverge up" "into its electronic snow city." --"Brief, That Place in the Year" In" Poems the Size of Photographs," Les Murray deftly maneuvers through familiar terrain--the Australian people, politics, and landscape--as well as terrain that is harder to render tangible: history, myth, and symbol.
