Les Murray, Literary Editor,

column
(p. 12-17)'Les Murray has retired as Quadrant’s Literary Editor. He held the position from March 1990 until this issue. We asked some of our writers if they would like to contribute their thoughts on Les’s tenure as Literary Editor. Such is the esteem in which he is held that we were overwhelmed with responses. We print some of them here.' (Introduction)
