Notes

  • Author's note: ‘Anyhow Poem’ quotes my own loose translation of a line from Heinrich Heine’s Deutschland. Ein Wintermärchen (the first two lines of the last stanza in Caput X) and is referring to Anna Mendelssohn’s Implacable Art with ‘loan me your limousine’ and ‘word-work’. Other more general and imprecise allusions are to Cy Twombly’s painting (especially Mary Jacobus’ interpretation of these paintings) and Seferis’ ‘Three Secret Poems’.

The contributions to this issue of APJ, fittingly, refuse to cohere. Among visions of swans and sundowning, gunny sacks and knitting patterns—a scattered constellation of the familiar and unknown—are individual acts of ambition and disobedience, each realised on their own terms. What is more difficult to discern is the common ground that also constitutes this field.' (Bella Li Corey Wakeling : Foreword introduction) 2021-2022 pg. 26

    'Best of Australian Poetry is an annual anthology collecting previously published and unpublished poems to create a poetic snapshot of the year that was. Capturing the richness and diversity of Australian poetry, across a timeframe of 1 July 2021 - 7 August 2022, the series, now in its second year, will explore how poetic responses to the contemporary moment develop with each passing year.

    'The book opens with an introduction by its 2022 editors, award-winning and highly respected poets and editors, Jeanine Leanne and Judith Beveridge. Both Jeanine, a Wiradjuri poet, and Judith have extensive experience as poetry teachers, academics and poetry anthologists previously.

    'The Best of Australian Poetry (BoAP) series is published by Australia's national poetry organisation, Australian Poetry, and will feature two different guest editors each year, to amplify the range of voices selected. It is funded by the Australia Council for the Arts and individual patrons.' (Publication summary)
