A Poem Nicholas liked


Nicholas Harding and I performed at the SH Ervin Gallery for The year in Art 2005. Nicholas was quite taken by a poem of mine I'd written about his painting Beach Life (blue chair and bags) he included it in his catalogue for his exhibition at the Phillip Bacon Galleries

The gallery also included an extract of the poem on their website, click the title to take you there.

The Life of Harold Stewart

Ern Malley. Is there an Australian poet or writer who doesn't know who he is? Most of them can probably tell you all about the Ern Malley affair and his poetry.

Harold Stewart the co-author of the fictitious character Ern Malley and his poetry, unfairly Harold's real poetry does not get the same recognition or attention that his creation does. Which is a great oversight by many people that say they love and understand poetry.

Harold's poetry is by far much better and much more interesting than any of the Ern Malley poetry.

I am working with Harold's nephew Lee Riley in trying to find Harold's library, some 2500 amazing books, a home. If you click on the title of this post it will take you to an article I have written on the journey of his library, and our efforts at finding the library a home.

Harold's last and greatest work Autumn Landscape Roll is currently being compiled by Lee. It is a 5356 line epic poem depicting a spiritual pilgrimage through an imaginary autumn landscape filled with exotic images of spiritual beings and eastern law, which draws on his many years of study of philosophy and religion from the east. To be published in 2006.
