The Barry Humphries book of innocent Austral verse.
Barry Humphries has long been a collector of bad poetry. This was an anthology of such poems he pitched to the Sun Books directors in 1967, promising an introduction by John Betjeman. The introduction failed to materialise, surviving only in Barry Humphries dedication to the poet. Barry wrote his own “proem” to introduce the book.
The naïve portrait of Humphries by James Fardoulys used for the cover is one of the book’s main attractions.
