The Art Box Series aims to keep Australia’s best, most influential poetry in print, and within reach of a modest budget. Chris Wallace-Crabb is the Series Editor — his judgment in choosing which volumes to revive and sustain is priceless. These books cost just $15 each, inclusive of postage within Australia. The series is expanding rapidly — we’re adding contributions from R. A. Simpson and the redoubtable J. S. Harry, and many more are planned. Support Australia’s best by purchasing your favourites today. Each of these titles is classic — you may be surprised, but you won’t be disappointed.
