' In 2021 I reviewed Solace, Graham Henderson’s last poetry collection, an anthology compiled from forty years of poetry. I am now pleased to be able to review Devotional Poems, Graham’s latest book, published this year. Graham, who I missed out on meeting due to his ill health, is a friend of Kieran Carroll, a poet/playwright friend of mine. I launched Kieran’s first book of poetry in Sydney many years ago and despite him living in Melbourne and me living in Sydney, with all the artistic disparities this can entail, we have stayed connected ever since. Kieran made the switch from poet to playwright early on. Graham, as I mentioned in my last review, received much past acclaim for his novel The Mountain. Apart from this and poetry he has also written short stories, novellas and a number of plays.' (Introduction)
