THE AUSTRALIAN launch of the third and final volume of the Cambridge University Press edition of D.H. Lawrence’s collected poetry, edited by Dr Christopher Pollnitz, took place in Newcastle, Australia, on May 13, 2019. 

Australian Lawrence scholar David Game presided over the official launch, and spoke of the Australian contribution to the CUP project, which began almost half a century ago.

Standing at the microphone before an audience of Newcastle University colleagues, members of the D.H. Lawrence Society of Australia, other Lawrence fans, and an appreciative audience of local poets and writers, Pollnitz gave an elegant speech, then read three of Lawrence’s poems.

The collected poems are the last volumes in the mighty Cambridge University Press Critical Edition of Lawrence’s complete works.  There will be an international launch of Pollnitz’s final poetry volume at the next International DH Lawrence Conference in Taos, New Mexico, next year.
