Peninsula Press is very proud to announce the publication of Sand, twenty poems by award-winning poet, Wallace McKitrick.

Born on the southern coast of Australia, Wallace has lived in the tropical north and the red desert. He has been a labourer, cultural worker, oral historian and public servant. Prior publications (as Peter Hicks) include Magpie Fly Over and 14 Poems 14 Photographs, both with Rick Martin, and Ripping Up The Tracks with Andrew Hill. He has received two national fellowships as a writer and a third for his contribution to the field of community arts, and has received the John Dunmore Lang Poetry Prize for Celtic-Australian verse.

Here’s what others have said of the poems in this collection:

McKitrick returns with an intense, visceral selection to rival anything presently being published in Australia (PP Cranney, award-winning playwright)

Poetry with musical breath and heart (Vineta Lagzdina, composer)

Sensitive and evocative (John Dunmore Lang Poetry Prize)
