Les Murray: The Biplane Houses (Paperback, 2008, Farrar, Straus and Giroux) No rating

This is Les Murray's first new volume of poems since Poems the Size of Photographs …

As Night-Dwelling Winter Approaches

Tree shadows, longer now, lie across the roads all one way but water goes fluently switchback, swelling left, unbuttoning right over successive cement fords.

Cattle walk their egrets around but other long-beaked pensive birds of the low damp places snatch off the ground, rise above stress of the plovers, and start flying

north over the world to sing.
