    'Last month when I heard Robert Adamson was terminally ill I, along with many others, recalled how Bob had influenced our work.

    'I first came across Bob as a teenage through New Poetry magazine. At 16 I fancied myself as a poet – I wrote down and studied Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell lyrics and tried to relate to the poetry I was encountering at high school. Then one day, in Abbey’s Bookshop in Sydney I came across my first poetry magazine – it just so happened to be New Poetry (Volume Twenty Four: Number Three). Inside I discovered, among others, the work of Adamson along with J.S. Harry, Robert Duncan, Philip Roberts and David Malouf. I was hooked.'
