AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Bruce Beaver was a generous voice in Australian poetry. His poems continue to speak of that singular dedication to the process of creation that characterised his life. The making impulse touched it on all sides, reaching outwards at the same time as it drew others close: his relationships, either creative or personal or both frequently find a way into his poems.'
