It's the perfect souvenir of Adam's hometown of Bondi ... his latest book, available here! Bondi is Adam's third book of poetry and, as it says on the back cover blurb, it "captures the essence of the iconic Australian beachside suburb in a wonderfully incisive and affecting manner".
As the back blurb goes on, "Born and bred in Bondi, Adam writes with a strong sense of place, his turn of phrase being distinctly Australian and his imagery pure-honed and resolutely local. These are poems of vigour and perception, at times melancholy, at others intensely personal, wry and optimistic.
"These are raw stories of lives lived on Bondi's streets, of the passing of the seasons, the charting of the juggernaut of change and, at the end of everything, the beach that always remains in place…"
There are 60 poems in total in Bondi, a mix of old and new. With a superb cover from renowned Bondi artist Jennifer Baird, the book looks (and is) damn good! ... even if we say so, and we would cos we run Adam's website and we're fans.
So ... go to Shopping Cart page to buy a copy.
