Description
The Darkening Ecliptic by Ern Malley A groundbreaking hoax that shook the literary world in 1944, this collection of poems is a testament to the power of deception and creativity. Ern Malley's work, comprising lines and words selected randomly from various sources, was designed to prove that modern poetry was a sham. Published in the influential magazine Angry Penguins, Malley's poems were later revealed as a hoax, leading to controversy and ridicule. This edition brings together all of the original poems, along with new introductions and historical background, making it an essential read for anyone interested in literary history and the art of poetry. Featuring unique drawings and etchings by Garry Shead, this book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of art and deception.
