2.0

I read this collection from cover to cover and found one (1) single good poem, the one by Richard Dawe "What does he do with them all, the old acquisitive king... ". So, either the editor/selectors, or Australian poetry, is at fault.

They're all so ... trite, and lacking in lyricism.

So why not just the one star? Well, that's what I *should* have given this terrible collection.
