Fine Condition

'The poems in The Green Mosaic have been formulating for twenty-five years.  In the two months I was writing them, my concentration was so intense I seemed to be back in New Guinea; all the five senses worked and sometimes I became aware of things I had forgotten.  The aim of these poems is to make pictures.  Words and rhythm are paint and brush, selected so that the readers see, not hear.'

'The sixty-three poems in this collection are shattering in their beauty; intense, often erotic, they testify to the university of emotions and transcend cultural and racial barriers.'
