Poems are collections of words assembled to express personal passions and as such may well reveal more than they conceal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeter Strawhan was born at the 'Old Queen Vic' Maternity Hospital, Rosewater, in 1932. A bleak wartime childhood in a working-class western suburb followed. He endured a five-year apprenticeship as a motor mechanic, later spending almost twenty-five years as an insurance assessor. A midlife crisis and adult matriculation led to Flinders University and a BA in History with First Class Honours. In 2005, after retiring to the south coast, he was awarded a doctorate by the University of Adelaide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Strawhan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1740278178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781740278171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ginninderra Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.16d","brand":"Peter Strawhan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519302316287,"sku":"9781740278171","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1deeb631-59fb-43a0-b1b8-ee5d4330d241.jpg?v=1778737218","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/palace-of-dreams-peter-strawhan-9781740278171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
