From the windswept ridgelines of the Australian High Country, Andrew Kennon's Bogong Calling Grounds: Selected Poems and Ballads captures the raw, untamed spirit of the land with the voice of a seasoned bush balladeer. This collection chronicles the landscapes, creatures, and characters of Australia's alpine regions — from the iconic Bogong moth migrations to the pastoral rhythms of cattle droving — painting a vivid picture of a place where sky, stone, and soil converge in ancient, elemental drama. Kennon writes in the grand tradition of Australian bush poetry, channeling the lyrical legacy of Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson while carving out his own distinctly modern voice. Each poem and ballad instructs the reader in the art of seeing the land as the people who work it do — with reverence, hardship, and love. Rich in regional detail and vernacular authenticity, this collection is an urgent reminder that the stories of the High Country still have much to say — to those willing to listen.
