Fantastic Day: New Poems

By Ken Bolton

'in one case I want poetry to do some of the work of philosophy, or at least of thought. In the other I just ('just') want them to be aesthetically terrific - organized abstractly or musically, so as to be abstract and musical'

'...bitchy, dreamy, acute ... a deeply serious - & witty & almost self-cancelling - consciousness at work' - Lyn McCredden

'philosophical rigor and lyric enthusiasm - one of the most distinctive voices in Australian poetry' - John Forbes

'The modesty and wit of the poems, even as they think 'grand' thoughts, now seems to me central' - Laurie Duggan

"Excellent - cool." - Amelia Dickins
