Telling A Hawk From A Handsaw

Chris Wallace-Crabbe writes with an alert curiosity about the world and the speculation it gives rise to. He celebrates household objects as well as the textures of the Australian landscape; European ancestors, both familial and intellectual; the damaged planet and the continuing possibilities of belief; science and soul.

The Author CHRIS WALLACE-CRABBE was born in 1934. He was Lockie Fellow in Australian Literature and Creative Writing at Melbourne University from 1961-1963, and over the next decades he became Reader in English and then held a Personal Chair from 1988. He has given many readings of his poetry around the world, and chairs the newly established Australian Poetry Centre in St Kilda, Victoria. Since his retirement, he has been Professor Emeritus in the Australian Centre, the University of Melbourne.
