Blind Spots: A verse play

In Blind Spots Bruce Dawe (author of such popular poetry collections as Condolences of the Season and Sometimes Gladness) turns his ironic wit and poetic skills to dramatise the unexpected termination of Kevin Rudd as our PM Julia Gillard’s subsequent term of office and Kevin Rudd’s return. Dawe’s sympathy for those subjected to the intense pressure of political office during these troubled times is evident through his tongue-in-cheek depiction of both Kevin and Julia.
