Sorry Roger, I'm not quite getting it. 'Australian poetry in general' is too big a beast to, well, generalise about. Or to use another cliche, too many rooms in that mansion. What do you mean by 'guiding light', if you don't mind elaborating? We can leave names out, or list names anyway, but I'm curious now. I'd be interested to know from a non-Australian familiar with the field.
