Send words as gifts: Selected & new poems 1995 - 2015

By Mr Michael Dom

"In a country with a strong oral tradition poetry seems to be a natural fit but it has been a mixed bag with a strong propensity for free verse and prose most apparent. There have been exceptions of course. One of these is Michael Dom. ""Somehow, through forces not evident or apparent, in Michael Dom Papua New Guinea produced a world class poet....There are no bystanders in this world of vivid imagery, wrenching honesty and lyricism.""This is a valuable collection for a number of reasons, serving as a retrospective of poetic development, a repository of great verse, and a reminder that poetry is a living form that geographical remoteness, educational disregard and cultural isolation can never suppress."Phil Fitzpatrick & Keith Jackson AMFounders of the Crocodile PrizeNational Literary Awards of Papua New Guinea www.crocodileprize.org
