Sometimes Gladness - Collected Poems, 1954-1982

by Bruce Dawe
$8.90
Sometimes Gladness - Collected Poems, 1954-1982
Sometimes Gladness - Collected Poems, 1954-1982

Intimate verses spanning personal to political spheres.

Bruce Dawe's "Sometimes Gladness" is a poetic time capsule, reflective of the three decades it encompasses. Dawe has a knack for infusing his work with a relatable humanity that stitches together the personal, social, and political. If you're looking to explore the fabric of mid-20th-century life, his poems resonate with a candidness that's both poignant and perceptive.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
