A post-colonial boy : (facing the music)

by Graeme Hetherington, Ralph Spaulding

This collection of poems explores the legacy of Tasmania's convict history and its influence on the island's West Coast during the mid-twentieth century. The work utilises motifs from the nineteenth-century penal system to examine the impact of this heritage.
