Fremantle Arts Centre Press published its first collection of John Kinsella’s poetry in 1989, only eight years ago. Three years ago, his third collection, Full Fathom Five, took out the West Australian Premier’s Poetry Award. Last year, his fifth collection, The Silo, won the Adelaide Festival prize for poetry, and Kinsella was awarded a ‘Junior Keating’. The pace of publication, and of recognition, has been quickening – two collections in 1993, two more in 1995, four in 1996. And now in 1997, in what must be record time, Poems 1980–1994, effectively a Collected, though readers should take note, only to 1994. There’ll have to be a second Collected before the decade’s out, and Kinsella will still be under forty.
