Review of Quadrant: Twenty-Five Years' ed. Peter Coleman, Lee Shrubb, Vivian Smith, and *A Possible Contemporary Poetry ed. Martin Duwell
Abstract
If I feel somewhat annoyed and depressed by Quadrant 25 Years, it is from the section in it called 'Arguments' and the sense which several of the writers convey there of being authorities on what's wrong with the world. It is their tone of being above it all and looking down on us mere mortals making our mistakes that has locked Quadrant as a leading literary and cultural journal in Australia into its negative image and stance.
