'Michael Dransfield blazed like a doomed comet through Australian poetry skies in the years 1968 to 1973.  A child of his age - one of the Generation of '68 - Dransfield experimented with drugs and alternative lifestyles.  he confronted in a personal way the crisis of the Vietnam war and, like so many others, was swept up in the rage, hope and euphoria of the times.
... a brilliant literary study of both of Dransfield the poet and of the 1960s as a cultural state.  Patricia Dobrez's illuminating narrative not only traces the development of the poet's talents but also explores the poems, re-evaluating them - and the poet's contribution - within a contemporary cultural-studies framework.'
