Hier Und Anderswo/Here and Elsewhere Ausgewahlte Gedichte/Selected Poems

"For over half a century Bruce Dawe is considered a leading voice in contemporary Australian literature. He is Australia's best-selling and most popular living poet. This bilingual selection includes all the poems which have established Bruce Dawe's reputation. In a time of multicultural globalisation, Bruce Dawe's unmistakeably Australian voice addresses itself to many themes and concerns of contemporary world literature. It identifies itself in a continuing dialogue of critical self-reflection and understated pathos, reconciling anger and mourning, guilt and shame, judgment and compassion. Proclaiming the author's own individual share of responsibility for the welfare of contemporary global man, Dawe's self-deprecating, pleading, witty and powerful poems have little trouble proving their relevance both here and elsewhere."Dawe, Bruce is the author of 'Hier Und Anderswo/Here and Elsewhere Ausgewahlte Gedichte/Selected Poems' with ISBN 9780820462608 and ISBN 0820462608.
