Time Taken

Time Taken encompasses a selection of work from Les Wicks' 14 previous books. For 50 years he has performed widely in Australia and internationally. Published/broadcast in over 400 different channels, magazines, anthologies & newspapers across 35 countries in 15 languages. Stylistically, the poet sits between camps. Seen as both a "stage" and "page" poet, his work is a mix of accessibility and dense use of language.



This book contains links to live performance, multilingual work plus music/AV collaborations. As a poet with a firm focus on content this collection eschews the traditional chronological structure in favour of a theme-based exposition.
