	Kenneth Slessor's Importance \| clivejames.com
		It is easy to go overboard about Slessor’s work, but finally it is more edifying to stay disenchanted, since a full appreciation of his achievement depends on realizing that to some extent it remained potential.
		The transfigurative potentiality of Slessor’s poetry was never fully realized, perhaps because he was not notably interested in society as such — he was a lyric poet by the circumscription of his personality.
		Ultimately, I am convinced, Slessor’s diffidence had something to do with the uncertainty of his role as an Australian poet — a role which he was too intelligent to fulfil uncritically, but not intellectually formidable enough to transform.

		Slessor, then, born almost with the century, is our first strong modern poet.
		Philip Mead's introductory essay looks at Slessor's poem 'Nuremberg' published in that vintage year for literature,1922, the year the poet became an adult, and links it to Slessor's German background, the artist Dürer, the Ern Malley hoax and the Nazi Party rallies of the 1930s.
		Jack Lindsay's 1952 reminiscence of Vision, the magazine he and Slessor founded in 1922, is couched in Hegelian terms, and drags in the founding of BHP, Federation, industrialisation, Romanticism and the young nation's struggle to express its identity.

	John Tranter site - John Tranter reviews «Kenneth Slessor: critical readings», ed. Philip Mead
		It was from McCrae that Slessor got his taste for historical costume dramas — the pirates, satyrs, wenches, and roistering cardboard figures that decorate his early work.
		Philip Mead’s introductory essay looks at Slessor’s poem ‘Nuremberg’ published in that vintage year for literature, 1922, the year the poet became an adult, and links it to Slessor’s German background, the artist Dürer, the Ern Malley hoax and the Nazi Party rallies of the 1930s.
		Judith Wright’s 1964 essay agrees, and notes that Slessor’s interest in form and experiment only went as far as seeking a form ‘which seems most nearly to reflect the shape of the emotion which produced it.’ This of course is an exact prescription for effective greeting-card verse.

		Many Australian readers will know Kenneth Slessor’s famous poem, “Five Bells”, either from anthologies, or more likely from the various AandR selecteds of Slessor’s work, with their hapless bindings and their blocky century schoolbook typeface.
		An elegy for Slessor’s fl-and-white artist friend Joe Lynch, who drowned in Sydney Harbour, near Fort Denison, one night in 1927 “Five Bells” was originally written and published in the mid- to late-1930s.
		Slessor was born in Orange, New South Wales, in March 1901, but his family had only recently moved there from the west coast of Tasmania, where Kenneth’s father had been an engineer at the Mt Lyell mine.

	Thoughts on the Number Five: Kiarostami, von Trier, and Slessor
		In “Five Bells”, five (six?) visions of Joe Lynch told in one voice: Slessor uses the interruption of the bells to emphasise both the timelessness of time, and the briefness of human life.
		While Slessor interrupts the poem with the phrase “Five bells”, which stands in for the sound of five bells, and this achieves a distancing effect, a check on memory or feeling, the poem proper remains the poem (or poems).
		Slessor became a perfect poet by ceasing to write poetry, and unfortunately no von Trier of Australian literature came along to shake him up (down), though possibly Joe Lynch (perfect only in his being dead) the anarchist who wanted to “blow...

		The poems of Australian Kenneth Slessor are powerful in illustrating his identity not just superficially as a poet, but also as a normal man with his own concerns, living his everyday life — a civilian.
		Secondly, through manipulation of their components, Slessor’s poems reveal much detail of his personality and mentality as a normal man. In addition, they reflect the influences in his civilian life such as family, education and associates.
		Slessor’s poems are unlike the traditional ballads of Patterson and Lawson favoured in Australian society during his day.
