Like many poets, MartinLangford has long been intrigued by the genre of aphorism. The neat snakescollected here have been compiled over many decades. An alternative way ofarticulating what might otherwise be explored in poems, they neverthelessretain the poem's elegance, and its characteristic tension between emotion andidea. Neat Snakes is a very different addition to Australian writing.
