Images of a Poet in a ‘40 years works’
摘要
The book opens with a brief historical introduction by editor Dashiell Moore, which attempts to provide a historical portrait of Fogarty through his forty years of poetic production: as the guerrilla poet, the Black Power activist, the educator, the songman, the poet, and the painter. This section reflects on Fogarty as a boy of Cherbourg (1958–1972), a Black Panther (1972–1980), a guerrilla poet (1980–2001), and the “greatest living Australian poet,” a judgement by John Kinsella that is used to encapsulate the critical attention to Fogarty over the last 20 years (2001–present).
