1 y separately published work icon Untitled : An Untitled, Unpretentious, Unadvertised and Unusual Selection of Verse and Prose 1943 Sydney : Garry Lyle , 1943-1948 Z922971 1943 periodical (3 issues) In 1943 Garry Lyle gathered contributions from A. D. Hope and Harry Hooton (qq.v.), and produced a small, untitled, typewritten booklet. A short editorial explained that the poets were 'fed-up with self-conscious bards' and 'unoriginal importers of meretricious styles already done to death overseas'. Responding with satire, they targeted followers of Freud, surrealists and 'green aesthetes' in three issues that have become known as 'Number One', 'Number Two' and 'Number Three'. The magazine declared no single editor, but indicated that each poet was editor of their own work. O. M. Somerville (q.v.) also contributed to the latter issues. 'Number Three' was published in 1948.
