Alison Croggon is one of the most powerful lyric poets writing today. Australian Book Review Raw, passionate and dazzling, Alison Croggons poetry confronts a world fractured by different kinds of violence patriarchal, colonial, sexual and emotional and finds there a difficult beauty. New and Selected Poems 1991-2017 brings together works from all nine of her published collections, new poems and previously unpublished work. It demonstrates the full range of her art: formally inventive, intellectually curious and stylistically assured.
