Ghost of Myself

About this book

A haunting exploration of legacy, land, and language in the Australian landscape.

Ghost of Myself delves into the complex relationship between self, history, and environment through the lens of contemporary Australian poetry. John Kinsella's collection explores the ghostliness of colonial legacies, the impact of pastoralism on the land, and the power of language to shape our understanding of the world.

These poems, imbued with keen observations of the natural world, invite readers to contemplate how we witness, record, and leave our marks. Kinsella challenges us to consider the responsibilities we bear to country, environment, and history, offering a unique perspective on the Australian experience. This collection is perfect for readers of contemporary poetry, Australian literature, and environmental studies.
