Naming the Nation : A Poetic Retrospect
2014
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , December vol. 28 no. 2 2014; (p. 263-266)'The work of conjuring settler nationhood for literary space was a self-conscious, colonial, and then nationalist task for both Australia and New Zealand. This conjuring project is powerfully present in poems bearing the name of the country in which they were written, apostrophizing that national/colonial entity and bringing it into a literary reading space. Here, Birns et al discuss the Australian and New Zealand poetic literature.' (Publication summary)
