from Wombat Books' website at http://www.wombatbooks.com.au:
Author Andrew Lansdown is renowned for his award winning poetry. In this brand new collection of over 200 pages there are poems told through various forms, but all with a focus on nature.
On the back, Les Murray says: "Lansdown spices the world with pinches of finches."
There are many haiku and tanka within these pages, and the same accurate eye and ear is brought to bear in other forms on much minutiae of the natural world.
Here's a little poem, as many of them are, as a taster:
Street Artist
Using pompom brushes
and a pointillist technique,
a wattle tree has dabbed
a park bench with yellow.
