That was the time between being named by his birth mother and being given up for adoption and renamed. I grew up in the small seaside town of Mornington where I quickly became restless. The only thing that held my fascination was the sea, with its constantly changing moods. It felt endless and timeless and I had the childish notion that if I were to step into a boat it could take me anywhere. It is little wonder that my earliest poems were all about the sea. At the age of nineteen I left Australia to travel across America. This was the first time that I felt alive, finding myself in dangerous situations and making friends that would last a lifetime. The journey had a profound effect on my view of the world and on my poetry. I have since travelled to many countries, and that feeling of adventure, danger and intrigue has always remained a powerful drive to see as much of the world as possible before I die. Walking on Ice is a journey of discovery. Written on trains, buses, planes and in airport lounges, hotels and wayside stops, it is as much a search for self as it is for a definition of home. Throughout my journey I have often thought about Paul Anthony and the life he may have led had I not been adopted. This book is my dedication to the life he gave to me and is published in his name.lihat lebih sedikit
