Geoff Allen's ballads stand alone in the field of contemporary outback Australian verse. His bush poetry taps deep into the rich vein of drama, humour and pathos, which is outback life.

His is the writing of a man who has lived on the frontier and comes out of it with a resounding empathy not just for the land itself but for the people who populate its vast distances. (back cover)
