In Gathering Flowers of the Mind, Jeff Rich has collected five fascicles of his poetry, collected over thirty years: Dreams before the Pills, After the Pills, The Burning Archive, Dr Cogito's Rebellion, and Meditations. This Melbourne poet writes in multiple traditions, variously Wallace Stevens, Zbigniew Herbert and Japanese tanka. In this audiobook edition, the poet himself narrates all his poems, and the self-revelatory preface that explains the making of the poet and the aesthetic principles expressed by the title, Gathering Flowers of the Mind.
