Ladd is an icon-maker and iconoclast all at once. The treasure among treasures in the diverse and pluralistic collection is the "Anakhronismos" sequence, which would have to stand as one of the most individual and challenging sequences in Australian poetry.

Mike was the editor of ABC Radio National’s highly respected 'Poetica', which ran for eighteen years. He currently works for Radio National’s features and documentary unit, and he and his partner Cathy Brooks have been running projects that put poems on street signs as public art.
