Poets include the editor, Ian Birks, Kris Hemensley, Jurate Sasnaitis, Philip Sipp, Adrian Rawlins, amongst others. 'Javant Biarujia is an iconoclastic Australian poet, at once an unparalleled linguistic confabulator and an exponent of Melbourne avant-garde poetics since the 1970s. He is the author of seven collections, such as Calques (Monogene, 2002), Low/Life (Monogene, 2003) and pointcounterpoint: New & Selected Poems 1983 \endash 2008 (Salt, 2007), and numerous chapbooks. Biarujia's work marks out its own historical forebears and familiars in a way that I believe \endash although absolutely in association with contemporary histories of poetry such as American Language poetry, Australian bricolage, and European surrealism \endash happens to hybridise baroque linguistic ingenuity with deconstructive collage and games of poetic reality that defy straightforward historical alignment ' ['Corey Wakeling Interviews Javant Biarujia', Cordite Poetry Review, 1 June 2014].].
