Selected Poems 1971-2017 by Laurie Duggan
PBS Special Commendation Spring 2018
“I think of how Pound defined the image as ‘that which presents an intellectual and
emotional complex in an instant of time’; and, still being thoroughly sane back in
1913, he went on to say: ‘the natural object is always the adequate symbol’. Such an
imagist doctrine has always been at the heart of Laurie Duggan’s sharp-eyed work,
ever since the days when he was at the core of a group who got together at Monash,
back in the 1960s.” —Chris Wallace-Crabbe
“Duggan’s is a poetry that determines to surprise: almost daring a reader to exclaim:
you wrote like this about that?” —Alan Wearne, Sydney Morning Herald
