Gargoyle Poets 1 & 2

Abstract

Graham Rowlands. Stares and Statues; Alan Wearne. Public Relations. Both published by Makar, Dept. of English, University of Queensland. 1972.

Congratulations to Makar for producing something with the avowed aim 'to foster new poetry, by providing a modest, inexpensive format with the assurance of a reasonably wide circulation'. Such an aim re-affirms one's faith in the'little magazines' of Australia, but one is left wondering initially at the title of the series:- the title may well be startlingly original yet the actual word is too much.
