Ivan Smith completed an Arts undergraduate degree and a postgraduate degree in Modern Literature in Perth, Western Australia. He worked for two years for United Nations Radio in New York, commentating on meetings of the General Assembly and the Security Council. He then became an editor, then Features Writer-Producer with the ABC in the United States of America. On his return to Australia he became known as a radio writer and director, and later a screen writer and director.
A rich illustrated poem is of drought and environment as seen by dingo in this sequence of Ivan Smith trilogy. It's too simplistic for adults and hardly entertaining for kids. Four star mark reflects quality of paintings and printout in general.
