Notes

  • According to Greg McLaren in an introduction to Cordite no. 28.1, 'Chris de Adamson's poem, "Don't Pay the Ferryman", touches on the idea that Adamson has meant more to male poets than to women poets'. McLaren also points out that in his poem Chris de Adamson imitates the poetry of Robert Adamson.
