Editing poet Gwen Harwood
|
Gwen Harwood expressed strong views about editors, especially those 'who couldn't tell poetry from a bunyip's arse'. However, she was friends with one of her editors, Allison Hoddinott, for 40 years. Poet and letter-writer, Gwen Harwood died in 1995, and Allison Hoddinott writes about her relationship with the acclaimed writer in the Island magazine.
