Deb Matthews-Zott Reviews Peter Skrzynecki
Peter Skrzynecki is renowned for his poetic rendering of migrant experience, over three decades, and was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia 'for his contribution to multicultural literature' in 2002. His Immigrant Chronicle (1975) is a prescribed text for the New South Wales HSC, which has ensured continued exposure for Skrzynecki's poetry, as well as sales of over 20,000 for Immigrant Chronicle.

She achieves all this without resorting to anatomical diatribe. But it's still hot.

Deb Matthews-Zott Reviews Dorothy Porter
