Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. First published in 1944 this group of modernist poems was intended to hoax Max Harris and the Angry Penguins group. Instead there was world-wide acclaim, amidst local derision. Written by young Sydney poets James McAuley and Harold Stewart, the hoax involved the dead poet Ern Malley and his…sister Ethel. The poems are augmented by commentary from Albert Tucker, Max Harris and Colin Wilson, with many drawings by Garry Shead. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1944 the Australian literary world was rocked by a hoax which was to become a worldwide scandal. Ern Malley, deceased motor mechanic and poet, and his sister Ethel, were the invention of two Sydney poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart, who were intent on proving that modern poetry was…a sham. The work of the Malleys comprised lines and words selected randomly, from Shakespeare to an American report on the drainage of the breeding grounds of mosquitos. Max Harris published the poetry in the literary magazine Angry Penguins but when the deception was revealed he was mercilessly lampooned, tried and convicted of publishing indecent advertisements. This definitive edition contains all of the Malley poems, introduced by Albert Tucker with historical background by Max Harris, John Reed and Colin Wilson; augmented by the unique contribution of drawings and etchings by Garry Shead. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Ern Malley & Max Harris (intro), Mary Martin Publications, Adelaide. Condition remarks:Book: Fair Jacket: No dust jacketPages: Good Markings: No markingsCondition remarks: Condition as shown in image. New paper clip taped on back of binding. One of the most celebrated literary hoaxes in history, Ern Malley's Poems pre…sents the complete collected works of a poet who never existed - a fictional modernist genius invented in a single afternoon in 1943 by two conservative Australian poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart, as a deliberate act of sabotage against the avant-garde. The poems were submitted to Max Harris, the ambitious young editor of the modernist literary journal Angry Penguins, who accepted them with great enthusiasm, hailing the fictitious Ern Malley as a towering new voice in Australian literature. The subsequent exposure of the hoax became a national scandal, resulting in Harris's public humiliation and even an obscenity prosecution over the poems' content. Yet the story took an ironic and enduring turn: the poems themselves, composed carelessly and with satirical contempt, were widely recognized by later critics as genuinely accomplished works of surrealist verse, standing as a testament to the unpredictable nature of artistic creation. This collection remains a fascinating artifact at the intersection of literary politics, modernism, and the philosophy of authorship, as compelling for its cultural history as for the strange, haunting beauty of the poems themselves. Paperback.
