Some at least of his poems seem to be up on the web site

The Red Sea in particular is pretty typical with the nonce form and smooth ride through the stanzas. There was also a brief thread about him in The Discerning Eye

I whole heartedly recommend his most recent book Other Summers (which has an odd review up at the Poetry site). I've only chatted to him once or twice since he moved to Sydney. He gave a reading which I attended and was at one other event. I could be wrong but I believe he was something of a protege of Gwen Harwood, another Australian (Tasmanian) mostly formal poet. His name keeps cropping up over here in prizes and poetry magazines. So it seems that its not impossible to thrive writing formal poetry (very formal actually)in Australia but he'd be close to the only one. Geoff Page writes formal poetry as well, some of which I like alot, but he mixes it up with other stuff.
