Poetry

Ranging over a period of four decades, the letters between these two major Australian poets talk of life, poetry, publishing (the "Bulletin", and Angus & Robertson), friends and professional acquaintances including Judith Wright, Norman Lindsay, R.D. Fitz Gerald, A.D. Hope, Rosemary Dobson and Francis Webb as well as their shared love of fishing. "Letters Lifted into Poetry" movingly documents a great Australian literary friendship and provides a lively window into both men's writing and times.
