After many years of performing poems around Australia, the publication of 'Heath-blues' finally brings together a large collection of poems by Tasmanian writer Bert Spinks. Deeply rooted in his ecological observations and studies of history, 'Heath-blues' also contains some of Bert's more personal reflections on life as a Tasmanian in a time of change.
