Insisting on Yellow: New and Selected Poems

Insisting on Yellow includes a substantial number of new poems and work from seven collections published between 1984 and 1998. Of the most recent, The Panic Bird, Les Murray wrote: “This is a fine and many-minded book.” In the section of new poems there are explorations of the need for love, waking and dream visions and a series of poems which feature parts of the body. A longer poem is a response to a talk by Esther Brunstein, a concentration camp survivor.
