Poems of Henry Lawson: Volume 2

Henry Lawson, “The People’s Poet”, is one of the few writers who has played a vital part in shaping the national identity of all Australians.

His poems of life in the bush and the city have a dramatic simplicity that allowed him to reach the ordinary people of his time and continue to hold the interest of present-day Australians. In most company, anywhere in Australia, the mention of Lawson’s name will bring a response from many people who know and love his stories and poems.

Pro Hart while of much more recent vintage has achieved a similar iconic stature in Australian arts, painting his unique visions of the outback landscape and its people.
