About this ebook
This is a lyrical and honest memoir of a poet's life in Sydney. From Lavender Bay to Lindfield, Geoff Lehmann tells the story of his life as a poet, tax lawyer, member of the Sydney Push, single father to three small children, and finally, a happily married man who returns to poetry writing and translation. His life and work crosses with some of the leading cultural figures of the twentieth century and beyond—Les Murray, Judith Wright, Christopher Brennan, and Clive James. He traces the contours of his own life and his family history, and the contours of particular slice of Sydney.
