Summary
‘Writing that is buoyed by indeterminacy, in which a blithe surface both collapses and embodies intellectual enquiry … the work is also a meditation on poetry.’ - Gig Ryan, Australian Book Review
’[We find] the familiar use of floating lines, repetition, loose jaunty rhythms, tonal shifts, proper names and explicit references to other poets … a rabbit warren of ideas and tangents grounded in the act of composition. In fact, no other Australian poet, with the possible exception of Pam Brown, pays quite so much attention to the physical and mental act of actually writing poetry.’ - Liam Ferney, Rabbit magazine

Ken Bolton
Charmless, and ‘despondent’ despite a seemingly endless run of luck, Ken Bolton managed - with an ineptitude profonde - the Lee Marvin readings, and Dark Horsey, the Experimental Art Foundation’s bookshop. In Adelaide, a figure trailing rumour and scandal, and associated, for example, with the louche set surrounding Noah Banens, his recent collections include Starting at Basheer’s (Vagabond) and 2022’s Fantastic Day (from Puncher & Wattmann). Shearsman (UK) issued a Selected Poems in 2013, replacing an earlier Penguin Selected.The author’s book on Life at Sea - A Pirate Life - was published by Cordite in 2023.
