New & Selected Poems, 1973-2002

Résumé du livre

'Gary Catalano was an important Australian poet. His talent was exquisitely refined, both in his subtle verse and in the prose poetry which he took to a higher pitch of excellence than any other Australian has attained. He was also a discerning critic both of literature and of painting, and his important collection of paintings and other works is housed under his name in the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery. This book comprises a selection of his best earlier poems, plus the text of his last book, which was almost complete when he died, still tragically young, in 2002.' - Les Murray. 'Limpid lines, his ability to imbue the smallest details with significance and his knack for rendering the contours of experience have a "painterly" quality about them expressed in spare, subtle lyrics...' - Sydney Morning Herald. '...a fine poet with a distinctive style.' - Australian Book Review
