John Harwood has written poetry, fiction, biography, environmental journalism, literary criticism, and satire. It’s a candid, fascinating addition to the vast literature surrounding Ian Hamilton’s Keepers of the Flame (1992) and the knotty ethics of literary biography. In an exclusive feature for ABR, John Harwood reflects on the conflicting motives behind his literary executorship of his mother’s estate – an estate holding the secrets to an at-times fractious marriage between two opposing temperaments. Unsurprisingly, this was not the first attempt to record the life of one of Australia’s most loved and admired poets. 2022 Calibre Essay Prize Winner and ShortlistĪnn-Marie Priest’s My Tongue Is My Own, published by La Trobe University Press and reviewed in our June issue, is the first authorised biography of the Australian poet Gwen Harwood (1920–1995).To receive a refund, you must send the item directly to the bookseller within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, in the same condition in which it was received.
