Philip Martin (poet)
Philip Martin (1931–2005) was an Australian academic, poet, translator, critic and broadcaster.
Born in Melbourne, Martin taught English at Monash University from 1964 and his poems have been published, anthologised and broadcast both in Australia and overseas.
His poetic output was cut short when he suffered a severe stroke in 1987. He lived through a long period of illness from that time until his death in 2005.
An obituary of Philip Martin, written by Australian poet Kate Llewelynn was published in the Poet's Union magazine Five Bells in its Summer 2005-2006 edition
