G'day!
I'm starting to make notes towards my forthcoming monograph about CAS, the poet. For that, since I need to wait until I have all his poems, I thought that I would make notes on the outline.
To give you an idea of it's scope, it will be a full-sized book, of at least 150 pages. I hope to cover the major works, and look at major pieces and themes in his work, whilst giving an informed overview of his total achievement. Which is where you fellas come in.
What topics, themes, etc. would you like to see raised in my book? Since I am writing about his poetry, to what extent should I discuss his prose? How much of a biographical background should I give, or should I refer those requiring such information elsewhere? What poems, in particular, should be given an extended treatment? Which secondary sources in particular do you recommend? These and other issues can be addressed here, while I work on the preliminaries, and upon such information as I have.
I estimate that it will take me a number of years to get the work in final order. I am hoping for at least 150 000 words, minimum, as I hope to produce a definitive analysis of him as a poet.
Any help that you can give is welcome, and you will be acknowledged.
