Poetic Obituaries: As a poet, his [Patrick Cullinan's] awards included

the Olive Schreiner Prize, three Thomas Pringle Awards, a South African Literary Award and a Slug Award from Carapace magazine--whose editor, Gus Ferguson, was his longtime publisher. In his lifetime, Cullinan saw three overlapping "selected works" published, including Selected Poems: 1961--1994 by Ferguson's SnailPress in 1994 (which was introduced by Watson); and Escarpments: Poems 1973--2007 by Umuzi in 2008 (and launched in May of that year). In addition to his half-dozen collections of poems, Cullinan also published a novel, Matrix, in 2002.
