His latest collection (At The Flash & At The Baci,2006) has been described as 'prov[ing] to us that Ken Bolton is a prime example of a poet breaking new ground in Australian poetry.'
The story of modern day Australia and it's inclusive horizons beautifully versified. Well deserved modern poem of the day.
A curve of butter yellow! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
I have never read a poem bt him before. Quite frankly, I am not sure what I think. At times I am riding along quite comfortably then the verse bolts to the left then bogs its head and starts crow-hopping all over the country. I am withholding real comment until I read more of him.
I think I know what you mean by THE VERSE BOLTS TO THE LEFT AND THEN BOGS ITS HEAD....This poet has a tendency to steer himself into an explanatory morass, maybe to enjoy the gnarliness and the exertion of thrashing one's way out. Maybe I'm wrong about BOGS ITS HEAD. Is that an equestrian term?
I think I could get used to this poet and like him immensely when my eyes get unblurry
Such a great poem by Ken Bolton...........................................
