This compilation of 20 Australian poets' works was an interesting read. It was a very quick read as each author is limited to four pages and gives a glimpse of the different type of writing each does.

Some easier than others to read, particularly as I'm new to poems.

As an Australian, it is good to read such a book, expanding my gaze upon our world, and in particular Australia.
