AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When we learnt that Robert Adamson had been diagnosed with terminal cancer we decided to devote the next issue of Rochford Street Review to him in recognition of his life and work. In particular we wanted to publish the essays he had delivered as the first CAL Chair in Australian Poetry at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Bob had given us the essays to publish and we had intended to run them over coming issues, instead we published them one after each other so that he knew that the essays had been published and were available to a wider audience.'

    '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.'
