Is he an Aussie poet, Chris? What do you mean by 'queer poetry'? I
mean, here we have quite a few poets who would fit what I mean by that
term, but they write many different ways. Erin Mouré, for example,
works a many sided experimentalism; while John Barton tends to write
more straightforward lyrics about growing up as a gay man.
Some see a theoretical queering of writing as what they do while other
want only to tell their story.
So can you say something about how this is 'an important collection of
queer poetry'.

As for MS Word, well, I do use the Mac version, & it seems to be okay
for all I need to do; would that really change?
