The Texas novelist Larry McMurtry used an excerpt from the poem as the collophon to his second novel, "Leaving Cheyenne", and the photo looks a fair bit like an old north Texas farm in the winter rains. And the poem itself could be about the American Southwest, my home country. I'll have to read more of her stuff.<br /><br />The Australian frontier experience wasn't too different from ours - I grew up in Oklahoma, in a part that was opened to white settlers in the late 19th century. Plus, you guys wear cowboy hats, and drive pickup trucks too -- OK, utes. Even if you drive on the wrong side of the road ;-)Peter D.
