Slade's Anatomy of the Horse is a compelling collection of verse by Australian poet Leon Slade. As the twelfth entry in the acclaimed Paperback Poets series, this volume showcases a voice defined by wit, skilful irony, and a wry, inventive sensibility. Slade navigates the complexities of contemporary life with a disarming vulnerability, often employing puns and playful observations to confront the challenges of the modern world.

The collection serves as a vibrant synthesis of the author’s diverse interests—literature, art, and horse-racing—blended into a series of thoughtful reflections. Through his unique perspective, Slade explores human frailty and strength, creating poetry that is as intellectually engaging as it is accessible. Whether he is dissecting the nature of society or offering intimate observations, Slade remains an astute observer of the human condition. This book is an essential addition for those who appreciate poetry that balances humour with a sharper, more serious edge. Discover the sharp observations and lyrical dexterity of one of Australia’s distinctive poetic voices in this celebrated second collection.
