translator
.
Life
Laurie Duggan was born in
Canberra College of Advanced Education (1983).[1]
His poetry grew out of contemplation of moments and found texts.[2] His interest in bricolage started early: while still at Monash he was working on a series of 'Merz poems', short poems about discarded objects, inspired by the work of Kurt Schwitters. His book-length poem The Ash Range (1987) uses diaries, journals of pioneers, and newspaper articles in its construction of a history of Gippsland.[citation needed]
