City of Stars is grounded in a vision of place, one always close to home, residing just outside the front door. It is full of the presence and seasons of the city of Frankston, Victoria, where 35,000 people live their daily lives. In this unique collection, poets affirm place as their primary source of inspiration: familiar streets, stations and seascapes. The poems collected here were written over several decades, and reveal lives full of expressive detail; a world of primary experiences being constantly re-discovered. Local themes become universal too as poets engage with love, loss, caring, community, hardship, history; all springing from both personal and shared understanding. City of Stars places Frankston's gateway city to the Mornington Peninsula firmly on the poetic map. No matter where you live, readers should make the journey.' - John Jenkins
