| book description |

Barry Hill's tenth book of poetry selects from his Naked Clay: Drawing from Lucian Freud, which was shortlisted for the Forward Prize, 2013, and described by John Kinsella as a `masterpiece'; Grass Hut Work (2016), his excursion into Hiroshima and Japanese poetry, which Sam Hamill said was `beautiful and quietly powerful'; Lines for Birds (2009) his collaboration with the painter John Wolseley, was acclaimed by Nathaniel Tarn as `a miraculous gift of a book'; The Inland Sea (2001), which David Malouf described as `a mixture of intense contemplation and powerful eroticism'; Ghosting William Buckley (1993), deemed by Barrett Reid a `major work' of `stories, thought and music' from the encounter of a `wild white man' and the indigenous people of the Australian frontier. This Selected also includes recent poetry-lyrical, political and in memoriam.
