ROBERT ADAMSON has been nourished for much of his life by Australia's Hawkesbury River. These poems praise nature--red in tooth and claw--and celebrate existence as a mythological quest. The early poems trace his own journey through a difficult childhood, prison, and exile in the city, the source of hard-won skepticism undercutting the highly personal Romanticism and daring lyricism of his later work.
