Nameless Earth by Robert Gray
Taking as its subject the natural world and the arbitrary nature of things, this collection includes poems, rhymed lyrics and epigrams, discursive philosophical discourse and free verse. It demonstrates an Augustan preference for substantial content.
'Mr Gray has an eye, and the verbal felicity which must accompany such an eyeHe can use an epithet and image to perfection and catch a whole world of sensory under-standing in a word or a phrase.' - Les Murray. 'I know of no other poet writing in English who gets anywhere near Gray's power with images.' - Peter Goldsworthy, Australian Book Review.
