ian paulin sings and writes with a rational passion. In his second collection of poetry, he is keen to explore and play with words, ambiguity and his usual dry wit, provocative and political. His life colours the palette. From frozen building sites in Europe to the dusty outback of Australia's Red Centre, from rough n ready housing estates to the tranquillity of the Tasmanian bush, rivers and seas, tales are set in alluring lyrics and rich musical ideas. ian's work has brought him to share the road with the homeless, at risk and marginalized people, heroes and fools, the best and the worst of souls. He's campaigned for peace, sung to save rivers and wilderness and searched for any way to share a road with any who need. Activist, environmentalist and campaigner for justice and the release of people from poverty. Fun, passionate, yet clear and relevant whether poetry or prose, live performance . . .
