Gig Ryan's poetry has exerted an influence over two generations of writers and readers since the publication of her award-winning collection The Division of Anger in 1981. Her work is studied in high schools and universities, and represented in anthologies, but has not been available as a whole until now. New and Selected Poems is Ryan's choice of her poems from the last thirty years, and includes twenty seven new poems written since the publication of her last collection.

Gig Ryan has published six collections of poetry, including Pure and Applied, which won the 1999 Victorian Premier's Prize for Poetry, and Heroic

Money, which was shortlisted for the 2002 NSW Premier's Prize for Poetry. The recipient of writers' grants and residencies from the Australia Council, she is a distinguished poetry critic, and poetry editor of the Age newspaper.
