G'day, All!
I'm bumping this thread because Davey's essay on Neruda appears on 3 Quarks Daily today. They try to pick a representative best of articles/essays/critiques appearing across the media and all manner of journals.
When I wrote that this essay is worth reading, I wasn't blowing smoke!! haha! It really really is a great essay on Neruda, and a great piece of writing.
So if you haven't already, give it a go when you have a quiet half hour or so . . .
And while I'm here, Davey is giving a public lecture on 17 September at Melbourne University titled 'Turning to Voice: Poetry and the Public'. If there are any denizens of Melbourne lurking here, do come!

The former director of the Melbourne Writers Festival will be doing a podcast interview with Davey before the main event, so I hope to be able to share that with you here at a later date.
Thanks!
