About this listen

Smoke Encrypted Whispers showcases Samuel Wagan Watson's imaginative brilliance and exceptional poetic skills. In this audiobook, which also includes work from three previous collections, his poems pulse with the language and images of a mangrove-lined river city, the beckoning highway, the just-glimpsed muse, the tug of childhood and restless ancestors.

Wagan Watson's poetry is the work of an artist who speaks to a sense of our common humanity, and to a communal attachment to place.

Critic Reviews

'His work is sharp, urban [and] brilliant.' (The Age)
'Watson's writing is fast-paced, with multiple interconnections and restless perceptions, drawn from life on the road.' (ABC Radio National)
'Some of the most interesting, provocative and engaging prose around. He's made the prose poem his own.' (The Weekend Australian)
