| Summary: | Michael Farrell is the most adventurous and experimental of contemporary Australian poets, continually pushing the boundaries of what poetry can do. Highly regarded for the playful rhythms and comic, gestural qualities of his poetry, his poems set language, syntax and punctuation in motion. His eye for metaphor and the unexpected combination, for punning and the letter in both its verbal and visual aspects gives his poetry its unique humour and energy. In poems like AC/DC As First Emu Prime Minister, Sheep, Golden Syrup, Elizabeth Bishop and Cate Blanchett And The Difficult Poem, I Love Poetry scrambles a landscape of colloquial and obscure images. |
