A poet exists within a cultural and intellectual tradition and usually writes in a specific language.

 Australian Literature Resources - John Tranter reviews "Swamp Riddles", by Robert Adamson
The book opens with a quote from Shelley, arguing for technical freedom: ‘...every great poet must inevitably innovate upon the example of his predecessors...’, and while some of the poems are in more or less conventional stanza forms, the most ambitious and valuable piece, ‘The Rumour’, takes the form of a broken-line field poetry.
This willingness to move into an open poetic is important – few Australian writers nave been prepared to abandon the well-charted local harbours in favour of a risky voyage into international waters, and fewer still have made such an attempt with any degree of success.
Seen in the frame of reference of the nature theme, it is difficult to tell whether she is a living presence metamorphosing into a Romantic cliché, or vice versa; this use of what is often merely a fabricated marionette is one of the clear weaknesses of these poems.

She reads poetry from USA, UK, Ireland and elsewhere, as well as Australian poets, and celebrates the fact that all of this influences her own poetry - she thinks that if you do not expose yourself to your contemporaries for fear of being influenced, you will be influenced by poetry you read as a child.
Australian poets seem to be a fairly marginalised and largely obscure breed.

As an added note, the names of authors listed here but which do not host a link to other pages are listed with the intention of setting up individual pages for them at some time in the future.
Australian history is almost always picturesque; indeed, it is also so curious and strange, that it is itself the chiefest novelty the country has to offer and so it pushes the other novelties into second and third place.
There are a number of Australian books (or books about Australia) that I think require attention but which, for various reasons, don't fit into any of the previously defined categories.

 Salmon Poetry, Ireland | Publisher's Diary 2
I've often talked about the need for poets to understand the realities of publishing, but I don't believe that many people consider the motivations underlying a decision to set up a poetry press.
Those who do set up presses are themselves often poets and understand full well the difficulties of creative work, but a downside of this is that the publishing of poetry can become a personal crusade, all encompassing.
I didn't set out to be a poetry publisher, but became involved because I'm a poet and I recognized the urgent lack of diversity in contemporary Irish poetry.

 John Tranter reviews "The Penguin Book of Australian Women Poets". ed. Susan Hampton and Kate Llewellyn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Less than a fifth of the way into this book we are among contemporary poets, and overall, most of the contributors are in their 40s or younger (eighteen of the poets are under 35); young enough to have been developing their work when the latest phase of the women’s movement was at its height.
Those statistics are depressing for women, and the editors firmly note them in their Introduction: ‘In fifteen well-known collections of Australian poetry published since 1970, the average of female authors selected was 17 per cent.
To me, it says clearly that Australia’s women poets have come out of the sweatshops, the farming country, the Depression, the kitchens, the typing pools and the troubled 70s rich with talent, confidence and energy.

 John Tranter site - Australian Poets in Profile: 4 - John Tranter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
That dry, laconic, slightly cynical approach is peculiarly Australian, and I learned that in the bush, listening to country people talk, and at high school with a mob of tough country kids.
But over the last five years — thanks mainly to Feminism — there are a large number of women poets and prose-writers doing really good things — things that work in their own terms, as well as in a general sense.
When I was seventeen — this was at a dance in the RSL Hall at Moruya, the little country town where I grew up — I got into a drunken discussion with the local cinema owner, a man of about fifty.
