Poetry. This collection brings together the strengths of Oliver's poetic; clarity of thought, compressed, highly original imagery, and rhythmic expression. Yet in many respects he is the philosopher-poet. In this book, Oliver displays a depth of thought, and a range of perception rarely found in contemporary Australasian poetry. This is Oliver's second IP title, following his Audio + Text CD King Hit, in which he collaborates with musician/composer Matt Ottley.
