Summary:

"This is an exploration of the life of Henry Lawson through his poetry. It draws on the belief that a large part of Lawson's poetry is autobiographical and the true heart and soul of Henry Lawson can be discerned by exploring the characters, themes, and emotions he writes about. This exploration reveals Lawson's great love for the Australian landscape and the turbulent nature of his relationships and life choices." -- from the Publisher.
