Neat Snakes Martin Langford

Like many poets, Martin
Langford has long been intrigued by the genre of aphorism. The neat snakes
collected here have been compiled over many decades. An alternative way of
articulating what might otherwise be explored in poems, they nevertheless
retain the poem's elegance, and its characteristic tension between emotion and
idea. Neat Snakes is a very different addition to Australian writing.
