VERSE
POETRY: The Australian International Quarterly of Verse. No. 19, June 30, 1946. (Economy Press, Adelaide). HE best one can say of this issue as a whole is that the poems in it reach a fair level of competence. Some ate rather trivial, some are marred with looseness of texture, some by selfconscious diction, and most by lack of that "fundamental brainwork" which is an ingredient of all good poetry. There are, however, a number of praiseworthy pieces; those, for example, by Judith Wright, Roland E. Robinson, and Ingeborg Kayko; and one, "Love and Death" by Jean McIntyre, which is memorable for its simplicity and strength.
