'In this, David Atkinson's third collection, his poetry explores the complexities of the human condition, the delights of our flora and fauna, the lost charms of the rural world he knew as a child and the rewards and challenges of family life. With an acute lyrical touch and an unerring ability to evoke sights, sounds and sensations, David's poems reveal new depths upon every rereading. His poems have achieved success in numerous competitions and have been published widely in Australia, the USA and the UK.' (Publication summary)
