'This year’s bibliography includes a large number of items carried over from the past year (entries are marked as 2012 publications in each case) and, in the case of Canberra poet Timoshenko Aslanides, listings go back even further. Many of his works had been missed because they were not covered by our primary review sources. The Australian compilers hope to cast a wider net in future years by citing more newspaper reviews. Meanwhile, for compilers and readers alike, the “silver lining” in this omission provides the opportunity for a short but genuinely enthusiastic review of a long career.' (Authors introduction)
