Poetry is an international language but it does not always have the opportunity to travel as widely as it might. This anthology is a vehicle for such travel, providing generous selections from the work of five acclaimed and award-winning Australian poets – Lucy Dougan, Cassandra Atherton, Paul Hetherington, Jen Webb and Sarah Holland-Batt – which deserves wider international representation and attention.

The publication represents an important partnership between UK Publisher smith|doorstop and the International Poetry Studies Institute (IPSI), based in the Faculty of Arts and Design at the University of Canberra.
