Biography:
Arthur Alexander Banning was an Australian lyric poet. Disabled from birth by cerebral palsy he was unable to speak clearly or to write with a pen. Yet he overcame his handicap to produce poems which were often hauntingly beautiful and frequently ironic and gave to other younger poets a strong sense of the importance and value of their calling. Such younger poets included Clive James Les Murray and Geoffrey Lehmann.
