Francis Webb Collected Poems Toby Davidson by Toby Davidson instant download after payment.

Francis Webb Collected Poems welcomes the return of Australia's most gifted and prodigious poet, Francis Webb, back into print. Webb wrote on varied subjects: the sea, postwar Australian cities, mental illness, colonial histories as well as religious and political figures, including St Francis and Hitler. His poems are written in a range of styles, from humorous short verse to epics and radio plays. The worlds he created – which draw on Australian landscapes, myths and religion – resonate with the universal quest for self-knowledge, and his words have been a source of inspiration for generations of writers and readers. This long-awaited, definitive collection of Webb's poems is the first edition to incorporate Webb's final changes – previously ignored by editors – to several of his poems written in 1969.
