Vandemonian

Vandemonian is a detailed, impassioned poetic history of Van Dieman's land, Tasmania. Poems in a variety of voices lay out the island's early story, exploring the truths of colonisation. Forshaw blends historical fact, imagined events and contemporary reflection with religion, geography and the great unknown to produce a portrait of discovery, disenfranchisement and extinction.

"An imagination like no other, transforming the world you thought you knew"

Jon Stallworthy

"These are poems captained by a large intelligence and abundant lexical vigour, poems of voyage, exertion and discovery."
