I must confess I have never heard of Overland nor of its editor. Perhaps I would have done had I I lived in Australia. He could be a lineal descendant of the Angry Penguin, I suppose. Is it possible that the Melbourne Shakespeare Society has deprived me of my dollars because my poems are published by Les Murray? Surely not?
It does not need saying that Les, a Christian, has no sympathy with Nazis anywhere.The man Minter sounds a very silly fellow. but I do know, from reading Quadrant, that Australian academia is stuffed with very silly fellows. Much like ours, don't you know.
Raintown Review. Good to know, Quincy. Good to know. You wouldn't consider paying - like Les does.
