Poets and Perspectives - John Stokes
Author(s): John Stokes
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. Titles include: Poets and Perspectives: John Foulcher; Poets and Persepctives: Kate Llewellyn; Poets and Perspectives: John Stokes (new). 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. Marion Halligan, Australian columnist and author, contributes an essay in this volume. So does Kate Llewellyn, whose own work has been published in "Poets and Perspectives".
