by Henry Lawson
"In the Days When the World Was Wide, and Other Verses" by Henry Lawson is a poetry collection published in 1896. This debut volume captures the Australian landscape and spirit through widely anthologized works including "The Free Selector's Daughter" and "Andy's Gone with Cattle." The collection also features Lawson's contributions to his famous literary dispute with Banjo Paterson in The Bulletin magazine. Critics praised Lawson's authentic local color and his ability to give voice to the silent wanderers of Australia's plains.
