Me again

Sorry Geraldine, but I just can't let this one go (Short Story). Kenneth Slessor is not "one of Australia's first poets", or anything like it. It wouldn't matter if it was just a slip of the tongue, but you were reading from a script to introduce a book reading. You were introducing a reading related to WWII, so it's a wonder.

For the record, the famous Bulletin school of poetry reached its heyday some years before Kenneth was a glint in his father's eye, and there were many greats well before that, Adam Lindsay Gordon and Henry Kendall to name only two.
