1 y separately published work icon At the Foot of the Mountain Mal McKimmie , Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2021 20877604 2021 selected work poetry

'At the Foot of the Mountain contains several stunning sequences, including the title sequence, which is the highly allusive and tightly wrought result of a surprising collision between Dante's Divine Comedy and Kafka's The Metamorphosis. The poems reveal a searching, idiosyncratic mind; they are linguistically acrobatic, disruptive and delightful, and often darkly funny.' (Publication summary)
