David Malouf crafts verse that moves between the personal and the universal, drawing on the textures of Queensland landscapes, childhood recollections, and the quiet drama of human consciousness to illuminate what it means to inhabit a body, a place, and a moment in time.\n\nMalouf's poetry is distinguished by its precise, luminous language and its capacity to locate profound meaning in apparently ordinary observations — a hallmark of a writer equally acclaimed for his prose. First Things Last stands as a testament to his belief that the elemental experiences of life — love, loss, belonging, and wonder — are always the most enduring. Published by the University of Queensland Press, this collection invites the reader to pause, look closely, and reconsider the things they thought they already knew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210254819547,"sku":"2026100009369-SECONDHAND","price":250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ffd1e9d6-0093-4e53-bfad-2b97a1265aa1.png?v=1788268121","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009369-secondhand-first-things-last-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
