	Philip Hodgins' untimely death in 1995 was a sad loss for Australian poetry. Hodgins had already been recognised by his peers during his lifetime as a poet of extraordinary talent. But, although we have been deprived of whatever he might have produced had he lived, the work he left behind comprises a major contribution to our literature. [His] poems are as urgent and accessible as headlines, though infinitely more beautiful. And you have to love a bloke whose favourite word was 'paddock'. Phillip Adams, Weekend Australian He is a leading poet in any terms. Les Murray Hodgins is a painter, akin to Fred Williams or even Streeton further back Ð he makes his landscapes move or shimmer in the imagination. Geoff Page
