The Biplane Houses

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Les Murray's first new book since Poems the Size of Photographs finds him at his near-miraculous best. Where that book and the book-length poem Fredy Neptune were animated by Murray‘s choice of a single mode of approach , this one calls on his ability to write in any voice, style, and genre: there are story poems, wordplays, history—and myth-makings, domestic portraits, and Australian landscapes . The Biplane Houses is evidence of a great poet in top form.

Format: Hardcover

Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Release: May 29, 2007
