The following interview with Tim Thorne,, a third window on the consolidation of the Australian New Poetry, was conducted at Simon :McDonald's house at 1 Elsie Street. Boronia, on the evening of 10-11 December1984, towards the end of the Montsalvat Poetry Festival. Simon McDonald, publisher of Wildgrass Press, was present and contributed several questions. The topic was Tim Thome's career as a Tasmanian poet and contributing editor of the periodical New Poetry (the platform for what John Tranter and others called 'the New Australian Poetry'). Applauded by some and reviled by others, the journal did have, as Thorne points out, a solid establishment position among the many little magazines of the period 1970-84.'
