'In the Hollow of the Land collects sixty years of poetry by Western Australian writer Glen Phillips in two volumes published by Wild Weeds Press. Glen Phillips was born in 1936 and the poems stretch from the author’s early 30s into his 80s. In terms of a career, it is notable that the production of poems by Phillips has tended to accelerate in the latter years, and has been particularly prolific since his retirement from Edith Cowan University in 2001. Taken together, the poems in In the Hollow of the Land provide a significant document of record not just of a sensibility that is responsive to his world, but of this world itself.' (Introduction)
