Having suffered a MA poetry seminar where I was the only male amongst 10 women, and resented for being there, is this what you mean by New Australian Poetry?
Hi Mark, the "New Australian Poetry" refers to the Australian Poetry collection edited by John Tranter encompassing the poets of the '68 Movement.
