AWW23: The Poetry of Gwen Harwood
With Helen Morse\xa0/\xa0Introduced by Peter Goldsworthy
\nGwen Harwood\u2019s reputation, already stellar at the time of her death in 1995, has only grown since. Her\xa0Collected Poems\xa0includes many previously unpublished works and has been reprinted multiple times. More recently, a biography by Anne-Marie Priest and a selection of 100 poems by Harwood\u2019s son, John, have added to her status as a national treasure. Always a deft technician, her poetry ranges from the philosophically dense to the metaphorically beautiful to the sheer irreverent \u2013 often in the same poem. It\u2019s only fitting that another national treasure, Helen Morse, adds her voice to the unique voices, plural, of Gwen Harwood.
