Description
John Shaw Neilson (1872-1942) is Australia's great lyric poet and Collected Poems (1934), dedicated to Louise Dyer, bears his imprimatur. Encouraged by his editor, Robert Croll, Neilson was totally involved in its publication and promotion, selecting the poems, rewriting lines, adding new stanzas and restoring A.G. Stephen's earlier changes.
Author Biography
John Shaw Neilson (1872-1942) was an Australian poet and songwriter.
Reviews'The collection would make an excellent addition to any English faculty book room, offering scope for a range of thematic studies centring on the Australian experience in the early twentieth century. Neilson's poems are accessible to younger students and could be a valuable tool for teaching poetic form in a conceptual study of people and landscape, distinctive voices and discovery' -- Rebecca Ross * mETAphor *
