AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Bruce Beaver was a generous voice in Australian poetry. His poems continue to speak of that singular dedication to the process of creation that characterised his life. The making impulse touched it on all sides, reaching outwards at the same time as it drew others close: his relationships, either creative or personal or both frequently find a way into his poems.'

— Appears in: Antipodes , June vol. 29 no. 1 2015; (p. 117-127)

She also examines two of the recurring symbols that lead to the primal core of her poetry. She then compare Plath's content and methods with Bruce Beaver's experiments with various forms of lyric address, confrontation with mental illness, politicized war, and postmodern violence, and experiences of aging and death in Letters to Live Poets (1969).
