Explore the beauty of words and emotions with
Shane C Richards - The Poet.
Immerse yourself in a world of creativity and expression. Let poetry touch your soul and inspire your heart. Join him on a journey through verses and stanzas, where every line tells a story every word carries meaning. Experience the power of language through the eyes of a passionate poet.
A poetic memoir across five decades The Omnibus opens a window onto five decades of the author’s innermost thoughts and lived experience. Bringing together three previously published works—The Arrangement of a Poetic Memoir, Infinite Destinies, and 1976—this collection invites readers into the literary journal of one man’s life.
A journey through darkness, laughter, and identity. The poems guide the reader from the darkness of mental health struggles to the lightness of laughter, through the pain of not knowing who you are or why you are here at all. Like a teardrop rolling from eye to lip upon a blushing cheek, the taste remains the same, no matter which emotion brought it forth. That salt carries the imprint of a veteran seafarer’s soul.
Richards has sailed the oceans of human emotion and beyond, shaping those experiences into the words contained within these pages. The Omnibus gathers a trilogy of colliding worlds into one unforgettable journey.
There are three sorts of people
Those who are alive
Those who are dead
And those who are at sea.

THE
ARRANGEMENT OF
A POETIC MEMOIR 1 st ed 2026

THE ARRANGEMENT OF A POETIC MEMOIR finds its foundation in the author’s earlier work, the 2010 book entitled THE POET. While the original context and themes of those poems have been carefully preserved, the author recognised the necessity to dramatically transform the structural composition of the content. This restructuring allows for a more coherent and meaningful presentation, reflecting the journey and maturation of the author’s voice over time.
The poems and verses included in this memoir trace back to the author’s earliest days with a pen, beginning as a fifteen-year-old boy serving in the Australian Navy. Now, fifty years later, these pieces remain true to their original form and sentiment. By maintaining the structural integrity of each poem, the author affirms that every work authentically expresses his feelings and thoughts, offering a window into his innermost emotions during the challenging and transformative years of the 1970s and 1980s in Australia.
This collection stands as a rearrangement of the poetic memoir belonging to a young, and at times bewildered, Australian boy. For him, the act of poetically journaling became a vital tool to declutter and quiet the persistent voices and thoughts within his mind. Through these writings, he sought solace and understanding amidst the confusion and turmoil of his formative years.
Perfection is vain man’s folly
men who boast of attaining perfection
are foolish
Integrity true man’s hope
men who spruik of honour
are liars
Men who allow others to read their deepest thoughts
devoid of fear of judgement
are men worthy of inner peace
