This is a volume of poetry by Henry Lawson, the well-known Australian poet. Some of the poems in this collection are still widely taught in school, some others are not widely known at this time. All of them, however, paint vivid images of Australia around the turn of the last century. As The Academy put it in 1909, "These ballads (for such they mostly are) abound in spirit and manhood, in the colour and smell of Australian soil. They deserve the popularity which they have won in Australia, and which, we trust, this edition will now give them in England." - Summary by CarolinCopyright Poetry Genre Art Entertainment & Performing Arts Literary History & Criticism

    "Mine and Thine" by Florence Earle Coates invites listeners into a poetic exploration of themes such as identity, belonging, and the intricate connections we share with one another. Coates' eloquent verses resonate with the timeless human experience of grappling with personal and communal ties, making her work as relevant today as it was when first penned. The depth of her reflections encourages listeners to contemplate their own relationships and the broader societal fabric that weaves us together. With its rich imagery and emotional resonance, this collection offers a profound reminder of the beauty and complexity inherent in our shared existence.
