<br/><br/> THE ARTS. AUSTRALIAN. Armed with a camera and metal detector Terry Piggott responds to the call again. This book, a selection of prize winning poems, supplies another glimpse into the life of a lone miner and prospector. While he searched for gold nuggets or Opals during the daylight, in his tent or bush shack at night, the poet wrote of life lived for over forty years in isolation. His words and his photographs record the unknown graves, the vast plains, the lonely campfires and yet, contentment is also there under wide open starry skies of outback Australia. It was a peaceful, solitary life except for the welcomed visits by goannas and an intriguing dingo for company. Within these eighty pages of Terry Piggott's second book of Australian Bush Poetry there is beauty, wonder, history and love.
