Implicit irony...

Image Michael Dransfield


Ivor Indyk pointed out (at the 2011 SHARP conference that I went to in Brisbane) that Michael Dransfield is now out of print for the first time in over thirty years (though Michael Dransfield: A Retrospective selected by Kinsella [2002] can still be purchased online from UQP). Dransfield has retained something of a cult following and is referred to provocatively on an unofficial tribute web site as “The obscure, the forgotten, the little-known Shakespeare of Australian poetry” (Sweatywheels). He is anything but forgotten; however in many ways it is in keeping with the myth of the poet that Dransfield, the poètes maudit –  the most prominent of the generation of 68 poets, the most re-published poet of the period – would be lauded for his obscurity.
