Photo of a graveyard with superimposed text: Those who say the author is dead usually have it in mind to rifle his wardrobe. Les Murray "The Suspect Captivity of the Fisher King"

In honor of the 86th anniversary of the great Australian poet Les Murray's birth (yesterday), here is one of my favorite lines from his essay "The Suspect Captivity of the Fisher King": "Those who say the author is dead usually have it in mind to rifle his wardrobe."

Australian sports broadcasting would be a whole lot better if more journos aspired to be #LesMurray rather than, say, Phil Gould.

All those #LesMurray tributes single out his ability to pronounce ‘foreign’ names. _You_ might be too lazy to study for your job; he wasn’t.

While most Australian sports commentators fail even to pass as mediocre, #LesMurray was always superb. A loss well beyond football.
