Snippet for Stephen Whiteside
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 4:10 pm
I thought Stephen ( and others ? ) might be interested in this bit of trivia. I often listen to a program on the ABC Radio national called Poetica.
They usually put on modernist poets' works.
A while ago they broadcast a program of World War 1 poems. I have only just listened to it and I was surprised to find that they included a reading of The Call of Stoush by C.J. Dennis.
I think this is the first time I have ever heard one of the " bush " poets recited on this program.
