Peter Skrzynecki is a poet and fiction writer of Polish-Ukrainian descent. His poems are largely poems of reflection and observation, but in the course of their "meditations" on experience they touch on the special pathos of immigrant families as they come to terms with a new and very foreign country.

Reviews for Immigrant Chronicle
"It is a mark of Skrzynecki's genius that "Immigrant Chronicle" can fairly lay claim to being the best poetical treatment of the immigrant experience, in Australia, since the nineteenth century."
