This is the first volume of Les Murray's Collected Poems to be published in Australia for many years. It includes all the poetry he wants to preserve, apart from his novel Fredy Neptune, from his first book the Ilex Tree (1965) to Poems the Size of Photographs (2002).

The book features a CD of a recording of Les reading some of his favourite poems.

'He is, quite simply, the one by whom the language lives.'
Joseph Brodsky

'There is no poetry in the English language so rooted in its sacredness, so broad-leafed in its pleasures, and yet so intimate and conversational.'
Derek Wolcott
