Poems of Henry Lawson

The poems selected in this book have been enjoyed by more than seven generations, from the famous Faces in the Street, which exposed the social injustices of the late 1800s, to The Sliprails and the Spur, described as possibly the most tender and most perfect of all his poems.

Combined with Pro Hart's painting, which capture the humour of some of these poems, the pathos and loneliness of others, the poems come alive one more.
