Anna Buck

'Featured for three consecutive years in 'The Best Australian Poetry''

Before she died Anna asked me to look over her poems with a view to publication, something she had resisted over the years despite her successes. She said she was never really sure her poems were complete. Her posthumous book 'Maybe Street: Selected Poems of Anna Buck' was published by Ginninderra in 2021 with an introduction by me.
