Land Before Lines is a photographic survey of the Victorian state’s contemporary poetry scene by Nicholas Walton-Healey. It presents sixty-eight unique photographic portraits, with a revealing suite of poems written by each poet in response to their image. These call-and-response collaborations combine to form a broader picture of a community and in terms transcending the lines separating different factions or genres (i.e. academic poets, street poets, performance poets, established and emerging poets). The publication is a homage to the artists and work that continue to shape and inspire the photographer.
