Like many poets, Martin Langford has long been intrigued by the genre of aphorism. The neat snakes collected here have been compiled over many decades. An alternative way of articulating what might otherwise be explored in poems, they nevertheless retain the poem's elegance, and its characteristic tension between emotion and idea. Neat Snakes is a very different addition to Australian writing.
