First edition; 8vp (21 x 14.5 cm); ownership inscription in pen on front free endpaper; perfect bound with original black wrappers lettered in white, green, and blue (rubbed on extremities and spine) with an image of the author on the front; [x], 70pp. Drug Poems was the third and final poetry collection of Michael Dransfield's…work published within his lifetime. As one of the most widely read writers of his generation of young poets in 60s and 70s Australia, Dransfield was enmeshed in counterculture and bohemianism, writing about marginalised people, drug use, and illness to critique the mainstream. Dransfield died young at 24 years old, a year after this poetry collection was published, likely due to health complications from taking drugs. He left behind close to a thousand poems. The blurb, with unknowing tragedy, tells us, 'If he (or any of us) has the luck to be spared he will still be writing poetry when some of his bright contemporaries are shining less brightly or writing nothing at all.'.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is the first publication of Michael Dransfield selected poems, gathered from every book in his relatively considerable output. They were chosen by poet and critic John Kinsella, whose lively introduction positions this indelible Australian poet at an international level. Always controve…rsial, poet Michael Dransfield's life story has tended to obscure his talent and achievement. Tales of drugs, sexual ambiguity and mythical and ancestral kingdoms have become iconic in the story of Michael Dransfield. However, he was much more. Visionary, poet-ecologist, minstrel, a writer of remarkable dexterity and versatility, he published four collections in three years and another three appeared after his death at 24. While never simply a young poet of his age - the late 60s and early 70s - he was connected to the popular culture of his time and place. He intended to change the world, and believed in the power of his own voice. Linguistically innovative and ahead of his time in so many ways, he also looked back. He was undoubtedly one of the great poets writing in English in his era, whose resonances are increasingly pertinent. Dransfield links the innovations of late twentieth-century Australian poetry with that revolutionary implosion of Ern Malley." This item is printed on demand.
