Australia needs to appreciate its poets - what they think, how they work, how they conceive of creativity, and the extent to which their work offers important insights into the human condition. This volume offers a pathway to such an understanding. It presents a collection of fascinating, candid and diverse interviews with ten of Australia’s most distinguished poets, each interview crammed with eloquent insights and quirky observations, and homing in on different ways to approach creative activity. I recomment it to everyone with an interest in Australian writing and culture, and to lovers of poetry everywhere. - Paul Hetherington
