And he did. The 2015 publication of Baxters Complete Prosereveals his remarkable range and depth across everything from personal, informal jottings to highly crafted literary
essays and political polemics. Quarrels with Himself provides a dozen essays that uncover how much more complicated Baxter is than his popular stereotype, and how his prose writing (like his poetry) wrestles with contradictions, anxieties and competing impulses just as he wrestled with the society in which he lived, or from which he withdrew. Essays by Janet Wilson, Sharon Matthews, Paul Millar, Lawrence Jones, John Davidson, Nicholas Wright, Hugh Roberts, Kirstine Moffat, Paul Morris, Doreen DCruz, Peter Whiteford, and Greg OBrien, with an introduction by Geoffrey Miles.
