Poetry. Second Edtion. Shortlisted for the prestigious John Bray Award in the 1998 Adelaide Festival Literary Awards. Reiter's work emerges out of his passion for travel, cultural history, and of course his love of language. Not easily categorized, his writing shows at once a mastery of classical form and techniques but also a playful exploitation of postmodern methods. There are several "Hemingways" in this sequence, voices from the past and present, real and imagined, in a mode Reiter calls "fusion poetry" to produce an unforgettable artistic experience. This is the fourth poetry collection from an author of international stature. Now in its 2nd edition, it also features Reiter's photographs from Spain.
