With one previous credit to her name for a volume in the late 1980s, Rachael Munro (1953-2014) has been diligently ‘ploughing her own field’ in Australian poetry for decades. Her verse is keenly observed and shot through with wry quips and wryer subtlety. Munro’s is a brave voice but not overbearing, rather it takes courage in its stride, something perhaps owing to the poet’s recent battle with leukemia. See also: A Tribute to Rachael Munro (video)
