Breaking the Surface celebrates West Australian novelist and poet Ian Reid's (ianreid-author.com/) return to the genre of poetry after a decade-long deviation into fiction, which included five novels along with numerous short stories.
Earlier versions of a few of the poems appeared in previous books but most are recent, published during the last couple of years in a wide range of Australian and international journals and anthologies. Several have been finalists in prize competitions, winning awards or receiving commendations or short-listings.
Ian is in conversation with Writing WA's Will Yeoman.
