NEW EDITIONS
WHERE THE DEAD MEN LIE AND OTHER POEMS.
J. Brunton Stephens, in The Bulletin: "Boake's work is often praised for its local colour; but it has something better than that. It has atmosphere―Australian atmosphere, that makes you feel the air of the place breathe the breath of the life."
Sydney Morning Herald: "There is no question, can be none, of the intimate faithfulness of every touch that gives us landscape, atmosphere."
Daily Telegraph: "An essential publication, full of human interest."
Australasian: "There is enough merit in these remains to show that Boake was, to say the least, a writer of promise, and to make us regret that his life was cut short in so sad and untimely a manner."

The Times: "This collection of the works of the Queensland poet, who has for a generation deservedly held a high place in Australian literature, well deserves study."
Daily News: "In turning over the pages of this volume, one is struck by his breadth, his versatility, his compass, as evidenced in theme, sentiment, and style."
The Athenaeum: "Brunton Stephens…well known to all those who are curious in Australian literature, as being, on the whole, the best of Australian poets."
Sydney Morning Herald: "This new edition will not only do honour to his memory, but will make his work known to many to whom he has previously been little more than a name."
