Book description
Taller When Prone has at its heart Les Murray's celebrations of the
rural world in Australia and elsewhere, evoked with a deep
understanding of landscapes, and the seasons, working lives and
languages that have shaped them. Stories and songs, fragments of
conversations, memories and satire comprise this varied, habitable
world. In Murray's vigorous and sinuous language, 'song and story are
pixels / in a mirrorball', reflecting back to us endless possibilities
of this varied, habitable world.
