PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Damian Balassone’s poems have appeared in over 100 publications, most notably in The New York Times. Described as a ‘virtuoso’ by legendary Australian poet Les Murray, he is the author of three volumes of poetry. His love of footy stretches back to 1980 when he sat on his father’s shoulders in the outer of Victoria Park, studying the movements of the Macedonian Marvel.
'To paint a picture so powerfully in so few lines is an art not to be underestimated. As a fellow poet, Balassones class and cleverness in eloquently carving out his story is inspiring.' - RUPERT MCCALL 'A fabulator whose poetry is a sports field of the four pillars in different ways: Tribal, Home Ground Advantage, Civility and Aesthetics.' - TED HOPKINS
