Selected Poems

This selection of A.D. Hope's poetry was published in 1992, the first in Australia since 1973. It includes pieces from all his major collections, including The Wandering Islands , first published in 1955, his subsequent collections A Late Picking , Antechinus , The Age of Reason , and Orpheus (1991). This collection provides an overview of a career that spanned over sixty years, and is a chance to look anew at an enigmatic and compelling figure widely regarded as one of the finest English-language poets of the twentieth century.
