Flying Blind

Tony Scanlon has been publishing poetry since the mid-1960s. A number of poems in this collection have won major awards, including the Jesse Litchfield Award for N.T. Literature in 1990. He has twice won the Red Earth Poetry (N.T.) prize. Tony's poems appear in many anthologies of contemporary Australian verse and he has read at poetry venues, and on AM and FM radio, Australia-wide and overseas. Flying Blind is his latest collection and incorporates works across three decades, touching on subjects as widely spread as man's inhumanity to sun bears, to memories of High Holborn Street, shopping on the Champs Elysee and life in the deep north of Australia. Flying Blind is one of those rare volumes with something for everyone.
