DDC classification: A821.3 Summary: "Christopher (Kit) Kelen's Scavenger's Season represents a quarter century's poetic engagement with a place. In this case the place is five acres between two forests - at Markwell via Bulahdelah, in the Hunter Region, on the NSW North Coast. Scene of home building and the urbanite's ongoing rustic and romantic adventures, Scavenger's Season articulates, for every sense, a blow-in's ambivalent belonging in the bush. The coast is never far away, weather passes relentlessly. The fauna feature, both domestic and transient - denizens of creek and sky. They're as sparse and quirky as the human cast. There are Chinese (and many other) influences and a painter's sensibility in the manner of making of these poems." --Back cover.
