Introduction Diver Awakening On Reading an Electrical Meter ... ... Found Poem - The Stabiliser Introduction by John Tranter The Latin poet Horace was reflective rather than passionate. His poem on the theme of remorseless time, that passes and devours everything, is known not by its title - Latin poems generally didn't have titles - but by its first words, Eheu fugaces - 'Alas, fleeting'. These sixteen poems of mine are 'fugitive'; that is, they have appeared in magazines or newspapers at various times over the thirty-odd years since I published my first poem, but they were passed over, along with many others, when I came to gather material for my various books. i keep nothing from her i share with her all i have she will leave me others will harbour her on her long flight to victory and hide her by night - H.M.Enzensberger

Its publisher is the poet John Tranter. Here he muses on the contradictions of the brave new electronic world. I think they're right when they say that middle-aged men shouldn't have children: they're too old to manage the sleepless nights and the effluent disposal problems. But here I am, well over fifty, father to a demanding baby who turned one a few months ago. The cute little fellow is called Jacket magazine, and I'm as proud as any dad. The other day, the counter on the front page ticked over to 43,000.

Foucault at the Forest Lodge Hotel by John Tranter Your good taste is so packed with reading you can hear a coin drop at fifty paces, but is that how infatuation beats up to the pitch of lust? With a trick flame and a gas tank? General Paresis and a pack of cronies are practising the Blitzkrieg Variation "A frontal attack on the Lotus Eaters and you’re home and hosed." Our guide to the good life is a drunken junkie, half girl, half executioner, breathing gas, who fucks like a disco wizard and exemplifies sheer speed as a final virtue, eating out with a rush: that’s how tonight develops into a drug catalogue blazing in the waiting room where I get a crush on Suzanne Pleshette and in that flash rise like a broken bottle into the light. The mob of men, dazed in the Ladies Lounge, inhale a bright idea: We’re not slack, we’re paralytic! For twenty cents and a wet kiss you can take a gun and kill an alien invader, for a dollar you can overhear a fat man mortified, but this is only the rehearsal: by

John Tranter: I was born in 1943 in Cooma, a little town in the south-eastern mountains of Australia. My father taught in a one-teacher school in the nearby village of Bredbo. It's high country around there, long rolling grassy hills, and pretty much unpopulated. I remember my mother saying that a hot wind blew all summer long, full of dust; in the winter a bitter cold wind, and sometimes snow. We moved to the coastal town of Moruya when I was about four; the climate there was more Californian. I fell out of the car on the drive to Moruya, late at night. It's almost my earliest memory. On a bend in the dirt road the passenger-side door came open by accident - the car was an old Chevrolet sedan. (There's a picture of me next to the car a little later in this interview.) I'd been asleep in my mother's arms. I fell onto the road and bounced through the blackberries into a ditch. I can still remember staggering to my feet, covered with blood from the gash in my head, and seeing the tail-light disappearing around a bend. It took them a moment or two to realise what had happened, and stop the car. For those few endless seconds it felt very lonely there in the dark. My father bought a farm, and I grew up there, learning to drive tractors, to plough and sow crops. Later he started a carbonated drink factory making soda pop, and I drove one of the delivery trucks. He'd been affected by the poverty he saw in the Depression, and he virtually worked himself to death; he died when I was nineteen. He was a decent man, and people liked him.

national library australian essay LOST THINGS IN THE GARDEN OF TYPE John Tranter I WENT TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE recently, to visit my Aunt Helene. She's getting on now. When she was still a relatively young woman she gave up her typographic practice and moved to a retirement village, the Home for the Disappointed on the little island of San Serife, in the Mediterranean. The people in Bembo, the only town on the island, are mainly employed in the printing and publishing industries, so she feels at home there. Aunt Helene has her own cottage, with a garden out the back: she calls it the Garden of Type. It's a place for abandoned things, she says, and typefaces that have been lost and then found again. When the weather's misty she wanders down there in her slippers and turns over the soil and kicks things around. Nothing seemed to grow there now, and I asked her what the garden was for. 'To remind me to remember to remember,' Aunt Helene explained. 'Soon I'll be the only one left who remembers what metal type looked like, or what blotting paper was for.' 'You sound like Henry Miller,' I said. 'I remember he wrote a book called

37. Jacket 2 - John Tranter - Three John Ashberys Essay by john tranter in Jacket 2. http://www.jacket.zip.com.au:80/jacket02/3jas.html

Catalog John Tranter Three John Ashberys This is a basic introduction This piece is 2,500 words or about 8 printed pages long. THERE ARE THREE John Ashberys. The first is the boy who grew into the man who became a scholar and artificer of words. I call him the Primary or Mundane Ashbery. After a youth spent on a fruit farm in upstate New York he attended college and then Harvard University. He gradually turned into another person, a poet; the poet who wrote all those poems, plugging on year after year, one sheet of paper after another rolling through the Remington, until some sixteen of his works stand there on the shelf to entrance and puzzle us. So the poet is not that boy, but another person. What did Rimbaud say? person This mundane manifestation is currently a tall, wide-shouldered man nearing seventy with a slight limp and a courteous, diffident and kindly manner that conceals - almost successfully - a brilliant mind and a wit that revels in gossip as much as in learning. The Mundane Ashbery has a love of old poetry in English and modern prose in French, and of modern art, ballet and music. He has spent his adult life in Paris and New York City. When he reads from his books, in that vague and charming drawl that asks you not to take this stuff too seriously, he looks at certain moments as the Secondary Ashbery might look, hesitant under the reading lamp, searching for the right word. John Ashbery, Sydney, 1992

Three Poems by John Tranter ISSUE 92-2 BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS Invitation to America after Baudelaire It's a day for daydreaming: rain choking the gutters, wind whistling at the window. Put down that coffee for a minute and think about it – a ménage à deux at the other end of the planet, floating on a culture with a blank mind, or rather, surfing on the waves of fashion, asleep on the wing, splashed by each passing trend. The way the sun lifts up from the backdrop so enthusiastically and lights up the windblown clouds from behind, it's a knockout, a patchwork canopy of blue and yellow. The storekeepers, the cops, the culture vultures remind me of you – deliquescent con-artist, blinking and lying through the convenient tears. Like a paint job on a new convertible the talk is brilliant and skin-deep. No history – who needs it? The furniture
