Winding their way through places that are experiencing a change of purpose, these poems move with a unique, seductive language and an irresistible drive. Revelling in the articulation of transition, as awestruck by the possibilities of change as it is keenly aware of loss, this debut collection rejects the too-easy judgements of navigation guided solely by a moral compass. With influences as diverse as the poetry of Les Murray and the painting of Edward Hopper, Here Is My Street, This Tree I Planted bounces, both linguistically and culturally, from one end of the globe to the other--and back again.Bennett, Jonathan is the author of 'Here Is My Street, This Tree I Planted', published 2005 under ISBN 9781550226485 and ISBN 1550226487.
