Stephen Edgar (born 1951) is a contemporary Australian poet, editor and indexer.

Background and education

Edgar was born in Sydney, where he attended Sydney Technical High School. After time spent living in London, he later returned to Australia, going on to study classics and librarianship at the University of Tasmania.

Poetry

His first published poetry appeared in 1979 in the Tasmanian literary quarterly Island (originally The Tasmanian Review). From 1986 to the present he has been subeditor of Island and was poetry editor between 1989 and 1994. He is the author of seven books of poetry.

As well as extensive publication of his verse in print media, Stephen Edgar has published poetry in online poetry magazines such as Snorkel,[1] The Poetry Foundation,[2] The Chimaera,[3] and The Flea.[4]

As poet Kevin Hart observed, Edgar "is distinctive for a firm commitment to closed forms and for showing considerable panache in handling them".[5]

Other critical material on Stephen Edgar includes a close reading by Clive James of Edgar's "Man on the Moon" in the Poetry Foundations online magazine.[6]

Edgar's Eldershaw (2013) was shortlisted for the Queensland Literary Awards (2013) and the Prime Minister's Literary Awards (2014).
