Laurie Duggan

Laurie Duggan was born in Melbourne and attended Monash University, where his friends included the poets Alan Wearne and John A. Scott. Both he and Scott won the Poetry Society of Australia Prize (Scott 1970, Duggan 1971). He moved to Sydney in 1972 and became involved with the poetry scene there, in particular with John Tranter, John Forbes, Ken Bolton and Pam Brown. Duggan lectured at Swinburne College ( 1976) and Canberra College of Advanced Education (1983).Australian Poets and their Works, by William Wilde, Oxford University Press, 1996.

His poetry grew out of contemplation of moments and found texts.David McCooey's chapter 'Contemporary Poetry: Across Party Lines' in The Cambridge Companion to Australian Literature, Cambridge University Press, 2000. {{ISBN|978-0-521-65843-0}}, p. 165 His interest in bricolage started early: while still at Monash he was working on a series of 'Merz poems', short poems about discarded objects, inspired by the work of Kurt Schwitters. His book-length poem The Ash Range (1987) uses diaries, journals of pioneers, and newspaper articles in its construction of a history of Gippsland.{{cn|date=August 2022}}
