Tranter, John Tranter, John (1943- ), Australian poet, editor, and critic. Born in Cooma, New South Wales, Tranter was educated at the University of Sydney, and has worked as a publisher, and in radio, for the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC). Tranterâs early poetry can be found gathered in Selected Poems (1982); subsequent volumes are Under Berlin The Floor of Heaven At the Florida (1993), and Late Night Radio (1998). As an editor and anthologist he indulged his penchant for the avant-garde and experimental in The New Australian Poetry (1979). Tranterâs work has been ostensibly counter-cultural, eschewing Australian traditions as parochial, and taking an internationalist approach to literary style and influence, mainly American. His work bears obvious similarities to that by New York School poets such as John Ashbery and Frank OâHara, taking a tricksy Postmodern line, and writing poems that are as much about art and communication itself as about anything distinct and concrete, as in this final sestet from âSonnet 35â: The girl is an artefact, the problem | |
