Zusammenfassung:	Examines Australian avant-garde poetry from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuriesArgues for Aboriginal and First Nations avant-gardes as a challenge to the Euro-U.S. constitution of avant-gardes in theory and historyProposes a re-definition of the meaning of national literatureExplores the question of avant-garde literatures in settler-colonial and post-Soviet contextsA guide to unknown avant-garde texts, performances and prosodies from Concrete and Sound Poetry traditionsAvant-garde poetry in the Antipodes causes all sorts of trouble for literary history. It is an avant-garde that seems to arrive too late and yet right on time. In 1897, Christopher Brennan made his own version of Un Coup de Dés, the same year Mallarmé published it in Cosmopolis. In the 1940s, the same period avant-gardism was declared dead or fatally injured due to the Ern Malley affair, Harry Hooton began writing a significant body of experimental poetry. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Australian Dada emerged 'belatedly' through figures like Jas H. Duke (Tristan Tzara had previously sung Aboriginal songs at the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916). First Nations and Migrant poets then began reinventing avant-garde poetry in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This book maintains that such a confounding literary history poses a distinct challenge to the theories of the avant-gardes we have become accustomed to and changes our perspective of avant-garde time
