摘要

In his chapter, John Kinsella, a longstanding supporter and key critic of Fogarty’s poetry, provides a rich, thoughtful poem and commentary in response to the inverted economy of colonial gift-giving set out in Fogarty’s poem, “I am not Santa.” Kinsella celebrates Fogarty’s play with inversion, reversals, gifting and receiving, a vision of a community of exchange as ethical subtext that is bound in relations to politics, Country, labour, and justice.
