A landmark collection in Australian poetry, History: Selected Poems 1978–2000 chronicles over two decades of Michael Sharkey's sharp, satirical, and deeply observant verse. Sharkey's work presents a wry and often irreverent engagement with history, culture, and the absurdities of everyday Australian life, drawing on a wide range of literary traditions with wit and erudition. The selected poems illustrate his mastery of form and his ability to move fluidly between comic deflation and genuine lyric feeling, making the collection both intellectually stimulating and thoroughly entertaining. Spanning more than twenty years of output, the volume offers readers a comprehensive portrait of one of Australia's most distinctive and underappreciated poetic voices.
