Published by the University of Queensland Press, this work charts McDonald's distinctive lyrical terrain — one where the physical world brushes up against the interior life of the speaker, and where the Australian environment serves as both backdrop and protagonist.\n\nMcDonald's verse is taut and precise, carrying the same narrative urgency that distinguishes his acclaimed novels. Slipstream presents a poetic sensibility firmly rooted in the Australian experience, yet resonant with universal themes of transience, identity, and belonging. For readers familiar with McDonald's prose, this collection reveals the beating lyrical heart beneath his storytelling — and for those new to his work, it offers an irresistible entry point into a literary imagination that refuses to stand still.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130829938907,"sku":"2026200011408-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/df4a4341-8488-428d-a39f-664a7dd88a75.png?v=1786590721","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011408-secondhand-slipstream","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
