Timeline

1940

Geoffrey Donald Page (born 7 July 1940) is an Australian poet, translator, teacher and jazz enthusiast.

He has published 22 collections of poetry, as well as prose and verse novels.

Poetry and jazz are his driving interests, and he has also written a biography of the jazz musician Bernie McGann.

He organises poetry readings and jazz events in Canberra.

Geoff Page was born in Grafton, New South Wales, and studied at the University of New England.

Sir Earle Page, who was briefly Prime Minister of Australia, was his grandfather.

Page has held residencies at numerous academic, military and political institutions, including Edith Cowan University, Curtin University, the Australian Defence Force Academy, and the University of Wollongong.

1974

From 1974 to 2001 Page was head of the English department at Narrabundah College, a secondary college in Canberra.

1983

Australian poet John Tranter in his 1983 review of The Younger Australian Poets (edited by Robert Gray and Geoffrey Lehmann)

wrote of Page:

"He is not a self-promoter, and his modest output has been inadequately represented in recent anthologies, as the editors of this one quite properly point out. His poetry has been influenced loosely by the American William Carlos Williams. In general, the spare precision of Williams' short lines is a good preventive against galloping garrulity, and in Page's hands it delivers a dry and particularly Australian accent and a thoughtful movement from phrase to phrase. The short line, as a model, can be overdone: 'of 3 a.m.' is an example that does little for me. Page's technique is low-key – his French and American influences are invisible in the texture of his localised speech – yet it enables him to range widely among language and experience."

2001

He retired from teaching in 2001.

He has travelled widely, talking on Australian poetry in Switzerland, Britain, Italy, Singapore, China, the United States and New Zealand.

His poetic style ranges from lyrical to satirical, from serious to humorous – and often addresses his concerns about contemporary society and politics.

Judith Beveridge writes that "Page is a humanely satirical poet. He lets us view our condition with a fusion of the comic and the tragic."

Page is the poetry reviewer for ABC Radio's The Book Show and, for a decade before that, its Books and Writing program.

Page curates the Poetry at the Gods and Jazz at the Gods series at the Gods Cafe in Canberra.

He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the 2023 Australia Day Honours.
