Talk:Max Harris (poet)

Rewrite
I've tightened the article throughout, remove some of the more subjective passages, and tried to improve the tone to make it more encyclopaedic. A lot of the material was duplication that is better covered in the articles on Ern Malley and Angry Penguins. However, I've added only one reference and many more are needed. -- Meticulo (talk) 08:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Andrew Jones
There should be a reference somewhere to a grand story about Harris: in 1966 a young man named Andrew Jones, who had little to recommend him except a Very Good School tie, fluked his way as LCL candidate onto the nominally Labor seat of Adelaide, then at the age of 25 or so had the presumption or temerity to publish an autobiography - My Life by Andrew Jones MHR or some such. (PS: actually Andrew Jones, MHR, by Himself)

Harris bought the whole printing, or something like, and sold them from his table of remaindered imports, on the ground floor of the Da Costa Building, at some nugatory (Harris's favorite word) price, it might have been 10 cents per copy. Jones was soundly defeated at the next election. Doug butler (talk) 00:38, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
