AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'John Leonard's survey of Australian verse samples the work of ninetv-six poets whose work has appeared with some frequency in the decade since the appearance of his first Anthology of Contemporary Australian Poetry (Melbourne: Houghton Mifflin, 1990). He has included a poem of mine in this second collection, and I am agreeably surprised to find myself in the company of younger and older writers whose works I have admired from a distance, or whom I have had the pleasure to hear and meet at readings in several States.'

    'This volume contains a selection of the Australian poet Michael Sharkey’s uncollected essays and occasional writings on poetics and poets, chiefly Australian and New Zealand. Reviews and conversations with other poets highlight Sharkey’s concern with preserving and interrogating cultural memory and his engagement with the practice and championing of poetry. Poets discussed range from Lord Byron to colonial-era and early twentieth-century poets (Francis Adams, David McKee Wright, and Zora Cross), underrepresented Australian women poets of World War I, traditionalists and experimentalists, including several ‘New Australian Poetry’ activists of the 1970s, and contemporary Australian and New Zealand poets. Writings on poetics address form and tradition, the teaching and reception of poetry, and canon-formation. The collection is culled from commissioned and occasional contributions to anthologies of practical poetics, journals devoted to literary and cultural history and book reviewing, as well as newspaper and small-magazine features from the 1980s to the present. The writing reflects Sharkey’s poetic practice and pedagogy relating to the teaching of literature, rhetorical analysis, cultural studies, and writing in universities'.
