    y separately published work icon TEXT Special Issue Website Series The In / Completeness of Human Experience no. 58 April 2020 19267597 2020 periodical issue 'In April 2020, amidst the global pandemic of Covid-19, the Australasian Association of Writing Programs (AAWP), the peak academic body representing the discipline of Creative Writing in Australasia, sent a call for contributions to a Special Issue of TEXT—Journal of Writing and Writing Courses. The theme of the Special Issue is: The in/completeness of human experience. The title seemed apt, although (disclaimer) I’m biased on this one—I think anything worthwhile I’ve ever written is about the incompleteness of human experience. Or perhaps I feel that human experience is necessarily incomplete. Maybe there is little difference and I will try not to prevaricate, too much, although I often do. ‘Get there faster,’ my eldest daughter says.' (Julia Prendergast, Introduction) 2020

Works about this Work

Lyrical Strategies and Poetics of Place Dugald Williamson , 2021 single work criticism
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , July vol. 11 no. 1 2021;
'This paper explores a range of poetic strategies used to express changing perceptions and experiences of place. It engages with ‘poetry as speculation’, as a theme that provokes reflection on ways in which poetic language enacts thought and feeling — such as surmise and surprise – in a manner not limited to presenting content that might already be considered ‘speculative’. Poems by Rosemary Dobson and Meg Mooney and a prose poem by Stephanie Green are discussed, to explore evocations of place and expressions of mood as diverse as wondering, questioning, and affirming the strange conditionality of things. The paper draws on a range of ideas from studies in poetics about poetic composition, to help analyse the ways in which these poems create dramatic tensions and refresh ways of seeing, speaking and understanding.'
