Notes

  • Section 1 of 'The Wine Harvest'
  • Author's note: ''Cold Press' is a poem based equally on actual experience and imagination, with strong somatic and visual imagery and providing an insight into the "behind the scenes" of the wine industry (really, an ancient aspect of human agriculture, that has timeless resonances and appeal).' (Artsrush website: http://www.artsrush.com.au/winner2003.htm sighted 11/02/2005)

This landmark anthology of Australian poetry, edited by two of Australia’s foremost poets, Geoffrey Lehmann and Robert Gray, contains such poems. It is the first of its kind for Australia and promises to become a classic. Included here are Australia’s major poets, and lesser-known but equally affecting ones, and all manifestations of Australian poetry since 1788, from concrete poems to prose poems, from the cerebral to the naïve, from the humorous to the confessional, and from formal to free verse. Translations of some striking Aboriginal song poems are one of the high points. Containing over 1000 poems from 170 Australian poets, as well as short critical biographies, this careful reevaluation of Australian poetry makes this a superb book that can be read and enjoyed over a lifetime.' (From the publisher's website.) Sydney : University of New South Wales Press , 2011 pg. 863-864
