    'This anthology...is a negotiation of many spaces. That of poets and their work, the idea of "Australia", the idea of being "represented" in a different demographic (America), personal or textual issues with anthologiser, who else is being included (though none outside myself and the publishers have knowledge of this until publication). Vitally, whoat matters is the conversations that arise from the anthology going public, and how the poets and readers deal with this community that has been organically and artificially induced.'

I deliberately elicited a broad sweep of poetic voices, from the emerging to the established to the highly renowned, crowned by the prodigious talent of David Malouf, whom I had the honour of interviewing.'
