The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses

The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses (1895) is the first collection of poems by Australian poet Banjo Paterson.

It was released in hardback by Angus and Robertson in 1895, and features the poet's widely anthologised poems "The Man from Snowy River", "Clancy of the Overflow", "Saltbush Bill" and "The Man from Ironbark".

[1] On its original publication in Australia The Sydney Morning Herald saw semblances of Rudyard Kipling's collection Barrack-Room Ballads, but agreed with Boldrewood that the major influence on the poems was the work of Adam Lindsay Gordon.

[1] The Adelaide Chronicle summed up the collection with the description: "There flits before us a wild phantasmagoria of break-neck steeplechases, conflicts of police and outlaws, hairbreadth escapes, and marvellous examples of bush, prowess, courage, and skill.

"[2] The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature declared it "the most successful volume of poetry ever published in Australia".
