Brentley Frazer: Australian poet. A contemporary Baudelaire on acid, a philosophical hobo, Dali of the written word, interesting for sure, hard-hitting, making it new again, a literary hoon, challenging, fascinating, dark/comic/surreal/creepy/ugly and beautiful . . . the critics agree. Brentley Frazer's poetry occupies its own space in Australian literature. A hybrid of capital-p Poetry, pop song lyrics and postmodern bio-mysticism, his poems are consciously transgressive and transliminal, or as Poetry New Zealand put it: 'This is the work of a 21st Century magician.’
