Ern Malley, deceased motor mechanic and poet, was the invention of two Sydney poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart, who were intent on proving that modern poetry was a sham. The work of Malley comprised lines and words selected randomly, everywhere from Shakespeare to an American report on the drainage of the breeding grounds of mosquitoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMax Harris published the poetry in the literary magazine Angry Penguins but when the deception was revealed he was mercilessly lampooned, tried and convicted of publishing 'indecent advertisements'. This definitive edition contains all of the poems, a new introduction by artist Albert Tucker and historical background by Max Harris, John Reed and Colin Wilson; augmented by the unique contribution of drawings and etchings by Garry Shead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ern Malley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925416887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925416886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ETT Imprint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.22d","brand":"Ern Malley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074185359615,"sku":"9781925416886","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d217767-a48b-4268-8785-dfede5e313c1.jpg?v=1685452283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-darkening-ecliptic-ern-malley-9781925416886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
