In this lyrical and honest memoir, Geoffrey Lehmann tells the story of his life as a poet, tax lawyer, member of the Sydney Push, single father to three small children and finally, a happily married man who returns to poetry writing. Tracing the contours of his family history, and the contours of a particular slice of Sydney, his life and work crosses with some of the leading cultural figures of the twentieth century – Les Murray, Judith Wright, Christopher Brennan, Clive James- and beyond.
