In this solemn act of remembering, the poet pulls onto his shoulders the terrible weight of 'this world gone wrong' and bears it for us all.

a tour de force, a poem memoir of great accomplishment.
Robert Adamson (SMH)
"a wholly absorbing mediation on, and a reclamation of, a politicisation of aesthetics."
