The first biography of one of the most famous Australians and one of the world's leading poets. No other Australian writer has transcended the literary world and literary fame or made an impression on the broader community to the extent that Les Murray has. He remains intriguing, unpredictable and deeply controversial.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Illustrated endpapers, xii, 391pp., b/w illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. Age toned text block. Spotting to fore and bottom edge. Browned edges. Slightly rubbed Dustjacket. "In 1995, at the suggestion of his publishers, he set foot on the ever-treacherous ground of Les Murray studies. It was a dangerous move; he had not previously written about a still-living subject, and he was aware of what a divisive figure Murray was. It's likely that his being entrusted with an authorized biography, coupled with his South African origins and his devout Anglicanism, may have made Murray's multiple enemies among the Australian literary citizenry suspicious. Early copies of the book were released, and immediately, a week after the sudden death of the Alexanders' daughter, threats of legal action began. The publishers did a volte face, the book was withdrawn, and it was not until a year later that a new edition was released." Gerard Windsor- Obituary The Sydney Morning Herald 29.01.2015.
