‘It must give pleasure’[1]
It should be no surprise that I am a big fan of joanne burns’ poetry. Although brush is not a New and Selected per se, it is a excellent introduction to her work and a substantial confirmation of the poet’s talent and importance in Australian Literature.[2] This is burns’ sixteenth volume of poetry; her first title Snatch was published in London in 1972.
