About the Poet - Tea Talk | The English Channel (Literature Reader) | Class 5 Literature | English
Clarence Michael James Stanislaus Dennis, known as C.J. Dennis, was an Australian poet and writer, born in 1876 and died in 1938. He is often called "The Poet of the Australian Larrikin," as his works often celebrated Australian language, culture, and rural life. His most famous work is "The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke," a series of comedic and sympathetic verses about urban life. Dennis's work typically contains a strong sense of humour and a distinct Australian voice. The frequent use of Australian vernacular in his writings significantly helped to popularize and legitimize the Australian slang in literature.
