An Elegant Sufficiency by Rob Wallis

$19.99 AUD

Category: Poetry

"I'm drawn to the attractive scope, humanity and acuity of Wallis's vision. His poems reflect wide travel in fact and in imagination. Often entertaining in their responses to appealing poets like Larkin and McGough, or in self-ironising accounts of life experience (in 'Table Tennis', 'Anzac Day', and th e splendid title poem), they embody a broad empathy for fellow lovers and explorers of the emotions.

I recommend his celebration of the art." (Michael Sharkey - Editor of the Australian Poetry Journal) "Rob Wallis's poetry will immediately charm you with its sure-footed and literate wit.
