A recently released compilation of poems about the people and places of Western NSW. Simply entitled ‘WEST’ the book contains poetry from Coonamble to the corner country, and from the Paroo to the floodplain touching all points in-between.

This collection of poetry portrays his deep love for the people and country of Western NSW and updates the ledger on a remote region that is vital to the National psyche and the way in which Australians view themselves.

For any reader with even the most remote links to the West, this book is a ‘must have’.
