Notes

Author note: "The poem was written as a challenge to accepted emotion; I tried to find images and events that would show the tension between a woman's creative spirit and her daily experience." (Cover of The Wild Girl in the Heart)

With insight and insider knowledge, poet Geoff Page emphasises the contribution made by the notable generation of Australian poets who emerged during and just after World War II.

Each poem is followed by a short, lively essay discussing its merits and suggesting why it might be considered a classic.' (Publisher's blurb) Sydney : University of New South Wales Press , 2009
