I am moving deeper into my own brain.
It is Australian innocence to love The naturally excessive and be proud Of a thoroughbred gelding who ran fast.
Poetry is either language lit up by life or life lit up by language
Writing poetry is the only form of literary labour which gives me entire satisfaction.
An old art spreading rumours about / Paradise, it begs outside the gates / Of the gods: the active gods come out.
I started off in England and very few people knew I was Australian. I mean, the clues were in the poems, but they didn't read them very carefully, and so for years and years I was considered completely part of the English poetry scene.
