Hi...i am a student and I needed to do some research on a poet. His name is Nicholas Hasluk and his poem is Islands. He's Australian. I'm not too sure whether this is the right place to ask but I can't find anything about him on the internet. My research requires information on him and an explanation of his poem. Can anyone be kind enough to help?? i would appreciate it so much! Thank you. |

I think I can point you in the right direction. The author you’re looking for is called Nicholas Hasluck, which is why your search came up blank. I can’t find a copy of his poem ‘Islands’ so I can’t help there. I can tell you he lives in Perth, was appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Western Australia and as Chair of the Australian Literature Fund in 1998. Happy hunting! Btw if you find his poem can you drop me a line, I wouldn’t mind reading it. Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

I’m surprised you didn’t find much out about the poet on the net, I put his name in a Yahoo search and got back 50-odd results. Try it in one of the spider based search engines and you should get a hundred times that. The Info I supplied earlier came from one of those pages, I just picked out a couple of points that might lead you to places containing more info. If you want to do more research via books try a search of ‘Australian Poets’ there’s a site that lists all Australian literature, failing that try Amazon, a search on the author will bring up all the books he’s written. (You’ll find most are prose and nearly all are out of print but a good library should be able to supply a copy). Good Luck Craig Yes, I admit your general rule.
