PIW 1 September 2010
This issue of PIW brings together Dutch and Australian poetry which looks at notions of travel, home and exile. Drifters and loners populate the selection of poems by early-twentieth-century Dutch poet J. Slauerhoff, from retired fado singers in colonial Mozambique to lonely sailors re-reading letters while at sea. Whereas J. Slauerhoff’s work embraces the limbo of homelessness and displacement, Australian Peter Skrzynecki’s poetry is one of deep engagement with the Australian landscape, as a place of both exile and home.
