Description

In DRY BONES, readers travel into the outback from page one, ready or not, into unknown territory where they can dance in the dirt and walk with horses. This poetry is a solo journey toward the center of the earth; toward the core of our Being as we struggle within the hollowness of modern humanity.

John Holland is a warm blooded writer with a true appreciation for the beauty of his country and the big expanse of nature. And, while he is sparse with his words and metaphors, he conveys a dreamlike image of moving through the desert in search of dry bones and a true voice.

Holland's poems travel like song-lines over the land he loves, circling, touching, giving voice to the heartland of the tropical north. He speaks in the moods and languages of the country around him as he examines people and their connections to place, love and loss, as a whole way of life vanishes. The land's ancient rhythms sound through his words; the music of the bush is not blotted out by the sounds of the city, it still plays gently in the background.

Here we see something different to what we have come to expect from current poets. The beat and rhythm of Australian poetry are there, but there is also a far deeper questioning of why and how we are here and our connection to an uncertain universe. If there is such a thing as a Cowboy Zen guy, well John Holland is surely that man. For under the camouflage of a rugged skin and bones is a soul that feels deeply and can see with clarity in to the quivering heart of humanity as it struggles to survive the heat of betrayal and surrender in love.

DRY BONES will not leave you untouched.
