His move from Sydney and three years of hand-to-mouth existence in London has produced nothing but a handful of unpublished poems. Pembroke College Cambridge offers a way out, if not up . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIgnoring the curriculum, he throws himself into writing songs, performing and film reviewing. \"If something was irrelevant, I could do it.\" He takes Footlights to the Edinburgh Fringe, writes for the New Stateman and works on \u003ci\u003eExpresso Drongo\u003c\/i\u003e, arguably the worst film ever screened at the NFT . He finds a lifelong passion in criticism, continues his poetry, falls in love with Italian art and eventually, in May Week, he marries.
