	The Never-Never Country "The Never-Never Country" (1901) is a poem by Australian poet Henry Lawson. It is also known by the title "The Never-Never Land". It was originally published in the writer's collection ''Joe Wilson and His Mates'' and subsequently reprinted in several of the author's other collections and a number of Australian poetry anthologies. Critical reception Reviewing ''Joe Wilson and His Mates'' in ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' a writer noted "It has been said that Mr Lawson's knowledge of the Australian bush was at the best but second-hand, but this criticism has not been made or endorsed by bushmen in a literary sense, he "owed" them. His buses ran like wildfire from shearer's hut to shearer's hut They expressed to a certain extent and within certain limitations the feelings, hopes, and thoughts of the average bushmen.

picture info	Henry Lawson Henry Archibald Hertzberg Lawson (17 June 1867 – 2 September 1922) was an Australian writer and bush poet. Along with his contemporary Banjo Paterson, Lawson is among the best-known Australian poets and fiction writers of the colonial period and is often called Australia's "greatest short story writer". A vocal nationalist and republican, Lawson regularly contributed to '' The Bulletin'', and many of his works helped popularise the Australian vernacular in fiction. He wrote prolifically into the 1890s, after which his output declined, in part due to struggles with alcoholism and mental illness. At times destitute, he spent periods in Darlinghurst Gaol and psychiatric institutions. After he died in 1922 following a cerebral haemorrhage, Lawson became the first Australian writer to be granted a state funeral. He was the son of the poet, publisher and feminist Louisa Lawson.

	When I Was King And Other Verses ''When I Was King and Other Verses'' (1905) is a collection of poetry by Australian poet and author Henry Lawson. The original edition consisted of 76 poems, representing work that Lawson had published in the years since his previous major collection, ''Verses, Popular and Humorous'' was published in 1900.
