Starlight
Poor Doris, she was like an uprooted tree swirling through the eye of a tornado, one viewer feels, an aquatic Dorothy Gale in a gale. Then she married again and again, but America is sleeping safely with its secrets in the Western night. Radical revisions, mistranslations and multilingual dealings: in Starlight, John Tranter destroys and rebuilds works by poets including Baudelaire, Mallarme, Ashbery and T.S. Eliot.

Tranter’s cultural significance has been compounded in the last three decades by his activities as anthologist, particularly with The New Australian Poetry, and The Penguin Book of Modern Australian Poetry (with Philip Mead). During the 1990s h...
