There is more glory than defeat in this work, though, the memoir of a writer who is, in turn, one of Australia’s best-known living poets. Although Gray is necessarily present throughout, the personal element is subdued – it is on others that the focus always falls, and on his parents most of all. Their struggle with defeated\nexpectation and finally with old age closes the book. \u003ci\u003eThe Land I Came Through Last\u003c\/i\u003e is ultimately a tribute to their strengths and weaknesses, and their very different personalities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giramondo Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33783067017352,"sku":"9781920882358","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/3443\/4440\/products\/the-land-i-came-through-last-9781920882358-632438.jpg?v=1690125375","url":"https:\/\/littlelostbookshop.com.au\/products\/9781920882358-the-land-i-came-through-last","provider":"The Little Lost Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
