Heather Taylor Johnson Reviews Young Poets: An Australian Anthology
Young Poets: An Australian Anthology (John Leonard Press, 2011)
“I’ve respected John Leonard Press since its beginnings in 2006, and over the years a theme has formed across its publications. Leonard’s poets have a lot in common. There is nothing slapdash about any of them. These are poets clearly enticed by language and by the theories of life. Don’t expect rhyming. Don’t expect clichés. And do not, above all, expect anything simple.”
