Poetry plagiarism scandal plays out

<html>His plagiarism is extensive... he s been working really hard in the currency of treachery, Dr Lawrence said.

The whole time he was the director of the Queensland Poetry Festival he was plagiarising.
In recent days, British poet Ira Lightman has used his Twitter feed to highlight examples of Mr Nunn s work that bear resemblances to already published poems.
One was Fortune, from Mr Nunn s 2010 anthology Ocean Hearted, which reads uncannily like Canadian poet Donald McKay s Philosopher s Stone.
Mr Lightman, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, said that he was tipped off by blog comments on a poetry website and began digging deeper.
When I saw Nunn had deleted the poems I d found,<a name="http://www.steelersjerseysforsale.com">Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys</a>, I started tweeting the screen caps and the sources; I also looked up archived copies on the internet site Wayback Machine, he said.
Having emailed Nunn once and got an unsatisfactory whoops, didn t do it on purpose type reply, I found more and more and kept tweeting them.
Mr Nunn published a statement on his website that said he used reading and listening to music as inspiration for his work, and that was sometimes creatively appropriated in the formation of a new work .
Have I credited the original work the way academia would have? No. Does poetry and music have a long history of sampling, of re-purposing, of homage? Yes. Will I continue to seek inspiration and motivation and keys to my memories and experience from outside of my own head? Yes. It s impossible to do otherwise, he wrote.
But let me be clear, my motivation has always been to charm the moment that has found me into a poem and only that, not to steal and never to cause harm.
Dr Lawrence, who recently helped expose Andrew Slattery as a plagiarist, rejected the suggestion that Mr Nunn was just sampling .
To attempt to use listening to music and wide reading as a defence of plagiarism... is really quite obscene, he said.
This is not a case of what we call an earworm ... this was deliberate, this was clearly designed to create an impression that he was a much better poet than he really is.
Dr Lawrence said the Queensland Writers Centre should rethink the 2011 Johnno Award it gave Mr Nunn for services to poetry in the state.
If you as a poet are consciously,Steelers T-Shirts, deliberately and ruthlessly undermining the very genre that you are being awarded this accolade for, then it really just makes a mockery of the award.
Mr Nunn is married to Julie Beveridge,Wholesale Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey, who worked as manager of programming and marketing at the QWC from 2006 to 2013.
In 2013, Ms Beveridge became the programming manager of the Brisbane Writers Festival, where Mr Nunn was a guest.
Dr Lawrence said people would forgive Mr Nunn in time, but only if he admitted his mistakes and showed remorse.
He s making a rod for his own back, and I think the sooner he comes out and says I really stuffed up and I was a plagiarist , the better for him.
brisbanetimes.com.au contacted the Queensland Writers Centre for comment.

Philosopher s Stone by Don McKay
-- and when, after I ve wasted a lifetime looking,
picking over eskers, browsing beaches, rock shops, slag,
when after I ve up and quit, you suddenly
adopt me, winking from the gravel of the roadside
or the rip-rap fo the trail or the
jewels of the rich;
when you renounce your wilderness and move in,
living in my pocket as its sage, as my third,
uncanny testicle, the wise one,
the one who will teach me to desire
only whatever happens;
when you happen in my hand as nothing
supercooled to glass, as the grey
watersmooth rock that slew Goliath or the stone
no one could cast; when you come
inscrib ed by glaciers, lichened, mossed,
packed with former lives inside you like a dense
mass grave;
when you cleave,
when you fold,
when you gather sense as omphalos,GORGEOUS GAL!! Actress Meagan Good Goes Out For Lu

cromlech, when you rift in the stress
of intolerable time;
when you find me as the moon
found Li Po in his drunken boat,
whe you speak to my heart of its heaviness, of the soft
facts of erosion, when you whisper in that
tongueless tongue it turns out,
though it can t be,
we both know--
Fortune by Graham Nunn
and when, after I ve wasted a lifetime looking
picking over poets, browsing beaches, shopping malls
when, after I ve up and quit, you suddenly
adopt me, smiling from the carpet of the Royal George
when you renounce your wilderness and move in
living in the back room as its sage, my other
the one who will teach me to desire
only what happens
when you come, inscribed by solitude
dog-eared, faded, packed with former lives
inside you like a matryoshka doll
when you gather
when you fold
when you find me as the moon
found Li Po in his drunken boat
when you speak to my heart of its heaviness
the soft facts of erosion
when you whisper in that
infinite tongue all that the world allows
all one could wish for
though it can t be
we both know</html>
