Notes to the poems in the book Urban Myths: 210 Poems: New and Selected
University of Queensland Press, 2006. 322 pages. ISBN-0-7022-3557-1, paperback.
Publisher’s cover blurb: Urban Myths: 210 Poems brings the best work to date from a poet considered one of the most original of his generation in Australia, together with a generous selection of new work. Smart, wry and very stylish, John Tranter’s poems investigate the vagaries of perception and the ability of language to converge life, imagination and art so that we arrive, unexpectedly, at the deepest human mysteries.

The Floor of Heaven was first published in 1992. Now in its third edition, it has been set from time to time as an optional prescribed text for the New South Wales (Australia) Higher School Certificate English Extension 1 course. The ’gender’ course module requires students to investigate, explore and evaluate the ways in which language shapes and reflects culture and values as they relate to gender. Here are some notes to that book.
