This collection of 40 poems from well-known bush poet Anne Rogers is her 5th book of poems but the first to be available as an ebook. About a third of this collection ranges from the amusing to the hilarious; and the other two thirds range from nostalgia for old times and places to respectful remembrance for people who gave their all for family and country.

Anne is a mature poet who has experienced country life on the land and has received her fair share of hard knocks. She comes across as a “boots and all” person who calls a shovel by its first name and may occasionally even shock some people. But it soon becomes clear that underneath this tough façade there is a “softy” who is mindful of the agonies faced by our pioneering families and still yearns for some of the treasures of the outback that we seem to have lost.  

A particularly enjoyable poem is “Another Road to Travel” which you could say is partly a tribute to an Australian country music legend and partly a lesson for the journey of Life.

This book will be enjoyed by all bush poetry enthusiasts and anyone else interested in Australian humour or bush life.  

WARNING: Some male readers may squirm unduly while reading “The Anniversary Gift” and “Catastrophe”.
