Henry Lawson
I adapted this from a poem & short story by Henry Lawson - one of Australia's greatest writers. Perhaps the greatest aspect of Lawson's work is how it finds strength within the inconsistencies & inequalities of life.
Lawson's writings have sometimes found criticism for their melancholy. To contradict that I suggest you track down his short story "The Loaded Dog" - one of the funniest things I've ever read.
The following link is a good starting point to learn about Henry Lawson:
