Basil Eliades is an everyman of art - poet, painter, performer, teacher. In his second collection from IP, he exerts his creative talents with dazzling scope and audacity in paintings as well as text. Basil Eliades takes us on an astonishing voyage. We don't know the destination, even when we get there, but the journey is brilliant, visiting places we have never imagined. - John Marsden Once again, Eliades has created a multifarious collection of poetry and art that is full of pathos, humour, rich visual imagery, and illumination. - Magdalena Ball, The Compulsive Reader "I'm sure I would have liked Lucian Freud much less " - Les Murray"
