Edge Music

Edge Music explores what it means to talk about, and to write on, the edges of Australian landscapes – be they geographical or historical. Responding to a complex, globally engaged nation, this innovative book openly displays the author's eagerness to write in an extremely eclectic range of styles and forms. It reveres the voices of the past, and grants them new life in the blinding sun of the present.
