Poems by Adam Lindsay Gordon

"Poems by Adam Lindsay Gordon" by Adam Lindsay Gordon is a collection of poems that ponders nature, life challenges, and the idea of death. Gordon's life as a poet and steeplechase rider influences the verses. His poems capture the Australian outdoors, the hardships of life, its beauty and sadness. The book starts with a tribute to Gordon by Henry Kendall, showing the grief and deep feelings of loss upon his death. From there, Marcus Clarke's preface puts Gordon's poetry in order by describing his background, troubles, and his writing style that gives the start to a national sense of being in Australia.
