The land I came through last

Description:

"A memoir by poet Robert Gray of his parents' lives and his own childhood growing up on a banana plantation in Coffs Harbour which is, at the same time, an intellectual and social portrait of the period. With its lyrical quality, and its author's extraordinary eye for resemblance in detail, the book is both an autobiography and an extended prose poem of a kind not attempted in this country before."--Provided by publisher.
