Allen Afterman

(1941- ), born Los Angeles, USA, a graduate in arts and law, was associated with the La Mama poetry workshops and lectured in law at the University of Melbourne before resigning in 1973 to become a full-time writer. Afterman has published two books of poetry, The Maze Rose: Poems, 1970-1973 (1974) and Purple Adam: Poems 1974-1979 (1980); much of the latter volume stems from Afterman's reaction to the genocide of the Jews in Europe and the Aborigines in Tasmania.
