If you’re interested in
Michael Dransfield you’ll find a review of Michael Dransfield’s Lives
(Miegunyah Press at Melbourne University Press, 1999) with a round of lively
comments at Rochford Street Review. Posted April 20, 2012.
The article is: “Who was Michael Dransfield?” Robert Adamson revisits ‘MichaelDransfield’s Lives: A Sixties Biography’ by Patricia Dobrez. It’s a big rewrite of an article
which appeared earlier in Australian Book
Review.
Mark Roberts (RSR editor) and
other poets join in the discussion with quite a focus on Robert Adamson’s remarks
about gatekeepers. Touchy subject.
Me: If you find yourself
keeping a gate – keep it open. Except in the country where the golden rule is
to leave a gate as you find it.
The current issue of Rochford Street Review includes reviews
of collections by: Joanne Burns, Geoff Page, Josephine Rowe, Julie Watts.

Thanks for this link, Lizz. Interesting to consider that if Dransfield hadn't died so young, would he be an established poet by now?
