A poetry collection with a dramatic blend of coming of age romantic and erotic impressions, intensive sensitivity, and remarkably confronting depths of observation on the human condition. Raw existential realisations flow into surrendering acknowledgements of brokenness explored with courage. The underbelly of masculinity is exposed with strength, compassion, and tenderness. Friends of Dorothy may find yourselves uplifted by tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods. This second edition comes ten years after the first edition of two books, Humanity: The Search for Place, and Naked Night. Both are combined into one volume. Celebrating thirty years since composition and first readings in the cafes of Toronto. Enduring time, this collection exudes vital energy, youthful honesty, and old-soul maturity. The poetry is edited, reformatted, typeset in fresh style, retains original sequences, and appears without commentary for your full enjoyment. Western Desert suggests a uniquely Australian aesthetics of place, space, with a few new poems added to top off the collection. More poignant now than ever. Life is like that. The best things take time to percolate.
