AustLit

'The subtitle of this anthology is slightly misleading in that it includes only poets who began to be published widely in the 1990s. One thing that Calyx obviously demonstrates, therefore, is the vibrancy of recent Australian poetry, the breadth and depth of recent talent and the considerable publishing opportunities which exist for new writers. The assurance and openness of much of the work reflects a sure sense of community and audience which it would be hard to find elsewhere. Calyx is further confirmation that Australian poetry has grown to worldwide prominence.' (Introduction)
