MEN'S LITERARY CRITICISM, SYDNEY 2000
Critic (a) speaks no more of it if the piece
never turns Antipodean enough
to pass upon the poems
and is big in America
Critic (b) warms to you like British Columbia
with sentences accurate
beyond ten thousand feet
Modernism says, "Hello, Dear"
Critic (c) does enormous research
e-mails with Jacques Derrida
pushes weights and swims
colleagues suspect hyperbolic steroids
Hugh Tolhurst
