Grass Script: Selected Earlier Poems

With his poetry debut "Creek Water Journal" (1974), Robert Gray at once established his name as a highly original "imaginist". He sees the rural world with an unerring eye; how man mars it and in time it re-establishes harmonies of its own. The city - Sydney in particular, with the play of water and light in the Harbour - plays a part. As well as the image poems there are discursive and narrative pieces.
