A three-part, epic work challenging our notions about the environment by Australia’s preeminent poet of the natural world. Consisting of Purgatorio: Up Close, Paradiso: Rupture, and Inferno: Leisure Centre, John Kinsella's "distractions" on Dante's Divine Comedy journey through time and space. Set in a wheat-belt Western Australia, these poems are a phantasmagoria of the real and imagined, depicting nature in its full regalia, resisting forces of environmental damage and human indifference.
John Kinsella is the author of more than fifty books. He is a fellow of Churchill College, University of Cambridge, and emeritus professor of literature and environment at Curtin University. He lives at Jam Tree Gully in the Western Australian wheatbelt.
