AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'For years the poet Anne Elder (1918–1976) was best known for the Anne Elder Award, a prominent literary prize for a first book of poems (similar in prestige to the Yale Younger Poets Prize in the United States). That obscuration of the poet herself has changed of late, with her inclusion in poetry anthologies (by Puncher and Wattmann and the University of New South Wales Press) and particularly with the joint publication in 2018 of a new selection of her poems, The Bright and the Cold (edited by her daughter, Catherine Elder), and a biography, The Heart's Ground (by Julia Hamer). Anne Elder's first career was as a ballet dancer in the Borovansky Company in Melbourne, but her debut collection of poems, For the Record (1972), marked her immediately as a poet of distinction. After her early death, a posthumous volume was published by Angus and Robertson, Crazy Woman and Other Poems (1977), though plans for a collected poems never materialized.' (Introduction)
