Welcoming Peter Rose with his new collection Attention, Please!

Admirers of Peter Rose’s extensive body of creative work will join us in celebrating the publication of a new poetry collection, the first for ten long years. As the Australian literary community pauses to mark his departure from the leadership of Australian Book Review after 24 years in the saddle, we can expect new flowerings of literary work from his fertile pen in the years ahead. This collection is a rich mix of old and new. It continues the celebrated series in the style of ribald Latin master Catullus and adds in gleanings from a rich and complex editorial and personal life, well lived, as this unique Australian polymath enters a new phase in his life.
