The first volume since UQP published Duggan's New & Selected Poems."Laurie Duggan does so many kinds of poem well,"says August Kleinzahler,"it's too much!"Says Gregory O'Brien,"That the same poet could produce the subtly unfolding documentary poem 'The Ash Range', 'The Epigrams of Martial', and then a poem like 'The Front' within half a decade is astonishing . . . What other Australian poet is able to inhabit a number of 'styles' as though each were his only one?"Says Peter Porter,"Duggan is a stylist in an area of poetry where style is notoriously difficult to maintain . . . making structures which are more than the facts & opinions they employ. That, I think, is poetry."One of Australia's leading poets & cultural commentators.Other titles by Duggan are in stock of course. |
