Passacaglia and Fugue
published by the author, 1979. 50 pp.
Whether inspired by Japanese haiku or by classical poets such as Horace and the rhythms of their verse, the subject matter is emphatically Australia and Australians. The first edition (1979) sold out. Copies of the second edition (1980) which, additionally, contains a foreword by ex-Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, are available. 50pp.
Now out of print. Available through me.
Praise for Passacaglia and Fugue:
"These technically brilliant, intelligently witty poems make a very big contribution to the gifts Greece and
her people have already given to Australia. They ought to be noticed and they ought to be read." --
Judith Wright (back cover blurb)
"Timoshenko Aslanides is a poet who writes with passion
and distinction about love and history. He deserves a wide reading public." -- Manning Clark (back cover
blurb)
