Sentimental Educations : The Poetry of David Malouf
2018
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Feeding the Ghost : 1 : Criticism on Contemporary Australian Poetry 2018; (p. 85-111)'David Malouf's poetry, marvellous as it is, is only one, comparatively small, part of a literary output noted for the variety of his modes. It is difficult to name many other writers working in poetry, the novel, the short story, the memoir, the review, the play, the critical essay and even libretti. It's tempting to say that, as in Malouf's imaginative universe, the boundaries between these modes are more porous than usual. In fact it is not a matter of Malouf mastering and excelling in different modes, but rather one of his transforming the latent possibilities of existing modes in order to make them play a part in the unfolding and expansions of this universe.'

Appreciating David Malouf As Poet
2014
single work
— Appears in: JASAL , vol. 14 no. 2 2014; 'This personal reading of David Malouf's poetry during fifty years ranges from his earliest dramatic lyrics through his European-Australian comparisons to the time in the 1970s when novel writing became his dominant concern. It then touches on Malouf's response to the cultural and intellectual changes of the 1970s, and finally returns to his recent rewarding philosophic style of lyrical reflection. The paper argues for sustained poetic interest and concerns within Malouf's writing.' (Publication abstract) -
Childhood and the Place of Memory in David Malouf's Works : The Example of First Thing Last
2010
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Lemuria , vol. 3 no. 2010; (p. 7-21)'When we subject the literary responses of individuals from colonized societies to the various discourses that have textualised them and controlled their reality to critical scrutiny, we are likely to see that their most dominant feature is/has been transformation. It is this sense of transformation that gives these individuals and their societies an idea of controlling their future - their post colonial future.' (p. 7)
