Barcroft Boake

Jack's Last Muster
''Jack's Last Muster'' is a poem by Australian poet Barcroft Boake. It was first published in ''The Sydney Mail'' on 13 December 1890, and later in the poet's poetry collection '' Where the Dead Men Lie, and Other Poems'' (1897). On its original publication, the poem was subtitled "Diamantina River. Western Queensland". Analysis N. E. Gladhill in ''The West Australian'' included this poem in an essay examining the extent of the horse's inspiration on Australian poets. ""Jack's Last Muster" is one of the few instances of oake'swork, where we experience the rhythm of joy and the feeling of carefreeness. Could Boake have dragged himself from the melancholia and hopeless outlook on life that obsessed him he might have given us an epic of bush life. He conceived the idea of one when it was too late; when life had destroyed his hope, and he had invited death to put an end to his hopelessness. "Jack's Last Muster" is reminiscent of Gordon in his raciest style. It is written in the me ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
