The Summer King
First winner of the Kathleen Grattan Award for Poetry, this book reveals an exciting new Australasian voice.
The Summer King tells stories, exploring the world we inhabit and our relationships with the other. Myth, catastrophe, family, strangers, sex, sport - all feature in this 'fine and fierce first collection' (Gillian Clark). The book contains two sequences: 'Cowarral', about Preston's family farm in the Forbes Valley of NSW, and 'Venery', which was inspired by the collective nouns that first appeared in the Book of St Albans.
