The fundamental themes of landscape, love and loss are all celebrated in this collection. Some of the poems have a political quality, reflecting the challenges and uncertainties of life in the 21st century; others simply honour the joy, the struggles, and the hopefulness of daily life. The poems encompass a wide genre, but all reflect a connection between people and place. Many celebrate the poet's 'home paddock' while others look to the wider world. Though the inspiration is landscapes familiar to the author, the themes are universal and resonant.
