A Castle in Spain

Daniel Neumann was born in England in 1951 of German-born parents, and has lived most of his life in Australia, in Canberra and then in Melbourne, where he works as a psychologist and as a musician. His poems respond to landscapes, texts, paintings, music, and conversations real or imaginary. They inhabit spaces from Australia to ancient Greece, and hear voices ranging from bush hermits to opera; and they speak with a feeling for distance and the passage of time.
