Introduction

August 2012 I'm a student of Australian Literature, more particularly of Australian poetry. My passion is for contemporary poetics. In his poem, "To the Bobbydazzlers", John Forbes writes the following lines:

American poets!

you have saved

America from

its reputation

if not its fate

& you saved me

too, in 1970

And I suppose that's how I feel about Australian poetry today, forty-three years later. Australian poetic culture, as the poems and poets collected on this website attest, is as strong as it is diverse. Browsing through the Australian Poetry Library, you will find poems from all kinds of poetic ancestries, written in different forms, at different times, for different purposes. In my time as guest curator of this collection, I propose to enjoy that diversity as fully as possible. In Forbes' words, my aim will be to "salute their/ luminous hum!"
