Poetic Obituaries: A man of equability, handsomeness and charm,

John [Fairfax] avoided the poetry scene, quietly producing his own work--including Adrift on the Star-brow of Taliesin (1974) and Bone Harvest Done (1980), and co-authoring with [John] Moat several guides to writing. His anthology of space poetry, Frontier of Going (1969), included Norman Nicholson and Edwin Morgan as "dreamers of the world, rhymers of moon and dune", while as editor of the Phoenix Press he gave a platform to younger poets, including his partner from the mid-1980s to the mid-90s, Sue Stewart.
