1 y separately published work icon A Pocketful of Poems : Aussie Flavoured Rhyming Verse Murray Hartin , Melbourne : Wilkinson Publishing , 2020 21028029 2020 selected work poetry

'This is not a book you read once and toss in the cupboard. This book will become dog-eared and tattered as your re-read it and pass it around. It’s your go-to book to get a great big taste of Australia. And with Muz’s poetry the flavour is always spot on.'

'Including Rain From Nowhere and Turbulence

'Muz Hartin takes the Australian craft of bush poetry and catapults it into the 21st century. This collection of poems and newspaper columns will have you laughing one minute and choking back tears the next. But mostly you’ll be laughing – a lot.

'Muz uses his mates for inspiration in yarns like Fishin’ For Cod, The Hog Whisperer and his hilarious outback classic Turbulence. In his newspaper columns, Muz puts his own humorous twist on everyday events with comical results. And then you’ll read the heart-wrenching Rain From Nowhere and think ‘Gee, that’s powerful!’

'Whether you’re from the city or the bush, Muz’s stories will hit the mark. He’s fair dinkum, he’s Australian and he’s a masterful storyteller.'
