'Stephen Edgar is quietly building the Augustan garden of Australian poetry.

Virtuosity of technique is combined with original thinking and clarity of presentation. Simply put, this is brilliant poetry, the equal of anything in English today. Australia should welcome the coming of age of an important talent.' - Peter Porter
