Tough and funny readings mark 1968 Allen Lecture
David Campbell brought a blunt humorous edge to his Allen Lecture reading at ANU on Sunday. The third in a series presented by the ACT Division of the High Council of Australia featured poems from Speak With the Sun and The Miracle of Mullion Hill and hinted at a forthcoming book. Campbell, inspired by Kenneth Slessor and Elizabethan lyricism, spoke of love, land, and the human condition while reading new pieces written for a later publication.
