Introduction to Landbridge : Contemporary Australian Poetry, John Kinsella , single work criticism
In this short critical Introduction, Kinsella describes the aims of his anthology: to emphasise the diversity of poetic voices working in late twentieth century Australia and into the next century, to ignore factions, 'schools', or genres, and to explore the vital 'crossover territory' between them.
