Aboriginal to Nowhere

  

This new collection from a widely admired Australian poet of his generation, combines major new sequences with shorter lyrical, concrete and prose poems, and gives a generational sense of what it means to be an urban Australian looking into the future. A 21st century apocalyptic howl from the cities: Aboriginal to nowhere.

Comment on Aboriginal to Nowhere:

 

“Brentley Frazer’s syntax is a live wire running through poems of experience, wild imagination and considered calm. Light the blue touch paper, but do not stand clear. Full immersion is essential.” – Anthony Lawrence

 

''Brentley Frazer's poetry is making it new again and in an exciting way, his lines crackle with the energy of a great technician who has something important to say, this book will make waves and many friends.” – Robert Adamson
