Dave Emo lent me a book on the late George Finey who was one of the old Sydney newspaper cartoonists. George Finey was a very well known eccentric character, he used to write his published poems in hand-writing. Sometimes he made shape poems with the words, or wrote the words in a writhing pattern like a river current, sometimes he drew shapes, like boomerangs or stars or snakes etc, then wrote the words inside the decorated shape.
His poetry was very good, by the way.
