A landmark collection in Australian literary history, Selected Poems gathers the finest verse of Douglas Stewart, one of the twentieth century's most celebrated poets of the Australian landscape and natural world. With a lyrical precision that is both intimate and expansive, Stewart chronicles the rugged beauty of the bush, the quiet drama of native wildlife, and the enduring rhythms of the natural environment. His poetry presents a distinctly Australian sensibility, grounding universal themes of mortality, wonder, and belonging in the vivid particulars of the continent's flora and fauna. The tone throughout is contemplative yet alive with sensory detail, illustrating Stewart's remarkable gift for finding profound meaning in the observed world. This essential volume stands as a testament to his enduring influence on Australian poetry and remains indispensable reading for lovers of nature writing and lyric verse alike.
