This site is designed to contain my work in contemporary Australian poetry.

On the first day of each month I will post a review of a new book.

There will also be work in a series of essays on Australian poetry as well as incidental essays as I get to write them. I also hope, eventually, to include all my previous work in an archive file. You can access at list of this in the Publications section of my Homepage.

If you are a publisher, I would appreciate it if review copies of new books of Australian poetry could be sent to the following address: Dr Martin Duwell, Australian Poetry Review, EMSAH. University of Queensland, Q4072.

Those interested enough in my thoughts about the function and practice of reviewing (and criticism generally) to want to pursue the subject, might like to consult an interview in Jacket in which I speak about these things with Jeffrey Poacher.

Regular visitors may have noticed that the site has been overhauled: the overhaul is still in progress and some late changes will probably occur.

Thanks for being interested enough in poetry to consult these pages and - happy reading!
