John Kinsella's poems are a very rare feat. They are narratives of feeling. Vivid sight - of landscapes, of animals, of human forms in distant light - become insight. There is, often, the shock of the new. But somehow awaited, even familiar. Which is a homecoming of a true poet.
'The New Arcadia' is a passionate, wide-ranging and spirited new collection from a major figure in contemporary Australian poetry.
