ACKLAND, MICHAEL Henry Kendall The Man and the Myths
Carlton South, Victoria, Miegunyah Press. 1995, First Edition. (ISBN: 0-522-84650-5) Hardcover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ill.: Photographic. Biography -- Poet, 800 g; XIV, 353 pages, edition limited to 1500 copies; illustrated with black-and-white plates, chapter notes, select bibliography, index, illustrated dust jacket. In almost new condition with some slight rubbing to the base of the backstrip, a small stain that the lefthand corner of the front free endpage from a piece of tobacco, title page dogeared. Digital image available upon request. "In writing this first full-scale account of Kendall's life and times, Michael Ackland has used a store of previously unpublished information to separate the real man from the myths which have come to surround him. He replaces the popular image of Kendall as a melancholy poet of the Australian bush with a fascinatingly complex portrait of a robust, enigmatic and many side character whose life registered the full impact of family tragedies, religious crises, drunkenness and poverty." -- front fold over blurb. Good/Very Good.
