The Poets and Perspectives Series has been applauded —by students, poets, critics and educators—for stimulating enjoyment and interest. It combines information and critical essays in the same volume as a sampling of each poets finest work.
Stokes is an excellent addition to the erratically growing series, with his melodic qualities and innovative rhymes and rhythms. Poignant imagery from Natures intersection with civilisation makes his work a pleasure, even in confronting moments.
Robert Adamson, one of Australias most popular poets contributes an essay in this volume. So does Kate Llewellyn, whose own work has been published in "Poets and Perspectives".
