Notes
-
Epigraph: The roaring alongside he takes for granted, / and that every so often the world is bound to shake. / He runs, he runs to the south, finical, awkward, / in a state of controlled panic, a student of Blake. - Elizabeth Bishop, 'Sandpiper'
-
Epigraph: It is always a question of whether there is any sense in taking notice of a poet's fine feelings. The poet himself has misgivings about them. Yet a man ought to feel something, at night under such a moon. - D.H. Lawrence, Kangaroo.
-
Epigraph: She says, 'I am content when wakened birds, / Before they fly, test the reality / Of misty fields, by their sweet questionings; / But when the birds are gone, and their warm fields / return no more, where, then, is paradise?' - Wallace Stevens, 'Sunday Morning'
-
Includes poems with Australian content from The Loveless Letters.
