5 Poets… And Why You Should Read Them By Tape/Off

Tape/Off
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

Brisbane alt-rockers Tape/Off will be dragging their instruments into West End tomorrow (25 September) for a show.


But not before band member Nathan Pickels questions your knowledge of poets.

1. William Carlos Williams

Because every day you miss the beauty of insignificant things (on which, the noticing of, joy depends).

2. H.D.

Because if you take care to look, everything becomes of everything around it – including you.

3. Philip Larkin

Because a keen eye and a dry wit can get you past most things.

4. Les Murray

Because we need legends or we'll die of strangeness.
 

5. Judith Wright

Because you're about to have a baby and pregnancy books are only full of facile tripe.

Now you have your Kindle sorted for the remainder of 2015, Tape/Off kindly ask that you wander down to The Bearded Lady in West End on 25 September for fun times.
