Critic Reviews
“Nick Cave is surely Australia's finest living songwriter”
Mail
He is an Australian artist like Sidney Nolan is an Australian artist - beyond comparison, beyond genre, beyond dispute Evening Standard
Cave's lyrics deal with passion on the edge, are peopled with mad bayou preachers, black-hearted lovers and killers. His language is rich, poetic, apocalyptic Guardian
Richly poetic creations which live a second life on the page. Essential reading Vox
