Ah, but I can hear Dorothy saying it! It is the crack in the crockery that lets the light shine in. I have never read any of the others in the first series - Malouf, Greer, etc - Has anybody? Investigating the MUP site has peaked my interest. Perhaps we could 'commission' such essays here. Max, Doug, Kenneth, Allison, David, and the Usual Suspects, could give us 20 000 words on a general theme not too far divorced from poetry - praxis, poetics, verse plays (Allison?), ekphrasis, etc. One a month? Who are the coordinators of this list these days? A thought.
