A collection of poems by the Australian poet Lesbia Harford, selected and introduced by Gerald Murnane.

I love you more
Than God loves the world.

Little published in her lifetime, Lesbia Harford died young in the late 1920s. Her short lyrical poems-about social justice, revolution, free love, feminism and the experience of women-display a candour and dynamism unusual for her time and place.

This essential new selection of her finest work, chosen and introduced by Gerald Murnane, reaffirms Harford’s position as one of Australia’s pre-eminent modern poets.
