The title of Les Murray's latest collection of poems—Waiting for the Past—is tucked away in the middle of the volume in a poem on the death of his grandmother. It's a rare prosaic poem for Murray, fittingly titled "Growth," with lines that mirror the unpredictability of his grandmother's cancer and a young boy's wandering in the "Cool dust of evening" in rural New South Wales, Australia.
