'“Poetry as Les Murray suggests, is the way we think. Experiences crystallised to essence. The poems in this engaging anthology are drawn directly from the process of converting sensation to meaning, of taking the random detail of the world and making them something to live by, to take forward. There are so many surprises here, so much that shows us the relevance and the power of an art that remains at the heart of human existence. Silver Linings demonstrates the strength of the human spirit, the elegance of its incarnation in words. This effervescent anthology will reward many readings. ” JOHN FOULCHER' (Publication summary)
