Selected Poems of Adam Lindsay Gordon presents a curated collection of Gordon's most celebrated works, chronicling the spirit of a man who lived as boldly as he wrote — a horseman, a politician, and a poet whose words became the very heartbeat of a young nation.\n\nGordon's poetry argues for a distinctly Australian identity at a time when such a thing was still being forged, blending the traditions of British Romanticism with the raw, unforgiving landscapes of the antipodean frontier. His verse — muscular, rhythmic, and suffused with a melancholic fatalism — illustrates a life lived on the edge, and his influence on Australian literary culture remains profound and enduring. Published as part of The Collector's Library of Australia's Great Books, this volume is an essential testament to the man whom the Australian Parliament honoured with a bust in Westminster Abbey — the only poet of his adopted homeland to receive such a distinction. Whether you are a seasoned admirer or a first-time reader, Gordon's words will leave you wondering how one life could contain so much.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161020506331,"sku":"2026200014277-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5e59fe58-a49e-4d6e-b9aa-58953a9bba6d.png?v=1787189208","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014277-secondhand-selected-poems-of-adam-lindsay-gordon","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
