1 y separately published work icon Grace Perry : Australian Poet, Publisher and Paediatrician Dorothy Jensen , Seven Hills : Boraga Academic , 2020 25012402 2020 multi chapter work criticism biography 'Grace Perry in Berrima Winter 1974 in ‘Too many mirrors’ writes “I am a hologram/exiled from my own interior”. She is acknowledging her multiple roles and her loss of self. Married to Dr Harry Kronenburg (haemotologist) and mother of 3 children she had a home-based medical practice in Five Dock with her own publishing company (South Head Press) which produced over 20 years of Poetry Australia six times a year. She also played a dynamic role in the 1960s–80s directing poetry workshops and publishing the younger generation of poets, such as Les Murray, and John Tranter. Her longer lyric poems in libre composé form mark her as a great poet so it is no surprise that she was the most published Australian poet in 1968 at home and overseas. It is tragic that she has been allowed to slip out of Australian literary history.' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon Grace Perry: Australian Poet and Publisher, Her Dynamic Role in the 1960s and 1970s Dorothy Jensen , Sydney : 1996 Z1294598 1996 single work thesis This thesis is a study of Dr Grace Perry's dynamic role in Australian poetry and publishing. The office of her South Head Press became a nodal point for discussion, criticism and international exchange. Grace Perry planned and arranged finance for legendary poetry workshops and events in Sydney from 1968-1973, and played a significant role in the early publication and growth of many of the young poets of that era. Although the thesis gives more weight to her motivation as a poet, it documents her significant role in publishing Australian poetry and considers the split in the Poetry Society over her international vision for Australian poetry.
