Kangaroo Unbound is a collection of 50-odd poems that take their titles and inspiration from legendary Australian artist Garry Shead's iconic 'D.H. Lawrence' series of paintings, which he produced in the early 90s in response to Lawrence's 1923 novel Kangaroo. Like the paintings, the poems range from the heavily influenced (those that lean into the source text with strong ekphrastic fidelity) to those that offer more abstracted and personal renderings. Traversing a range of forms from free verse to concrete, villanelle and sonnet, the poems draw from a host of readily identifiable national motifs in their effort toward a contemporary Australian mythology grounded in 'Benevolence, Humour and Divine Mystery.'
