…intense, quite relentless, often dark and pessimistic. But this of course
is not the whole story, for within these pages are striking moments of grace,
awareness, acceptance, restitution… joanne burns
...the
poetry is firmly anchored in the recognisably here and now of the material
world, craftily exploiting tensions between the natural world and the
depredations of short-sighted materialism and consumerism. Cliff

Stories of the Feet
(Five Islands Press, 2004) $18.95 (Aust)
In Australia, dramatic narratives, in a
variety of styles, still have a vitality that at least matches, perhaps
outshines what other English poetries can show…[“Two Ghosts…” featured herein] with its
oral manner, builds up an eerie tension… Christopher Pollnitz , Ulitarra
We need a book like this once in a while to
remind ourselves that poets document contemporary society in a way that social
scientists never will. With Stories of
the Feet, Les Wicks focuses his rearview mirror on
us. Rob Walker, Cordite
Les is your tour guide to the real Australia,
a land of Emus and Kangaroos indeed, also a land of dead bodies covered in
sheets, or cold nights thumbing rides along deserted highways… Another fabulous book, from a great poet. Paul Gilbert, Above Ground Testing
