Description: Scott's first acclaim came in 1970 when he won the Poetry Society of Australia award for "Relation," a mixed-media poem. The Poetry Society also conferred honourable mentions on his "Setting for Three Voices" and "Three Metamorphoses on the Death of Tony Hancock." Signposts to later developments in his work appear in "Relation," the intercutting of epistolary with other documents; in "Setting" with the splintering of a psalm into ecstatic fragments; and in "Metamorphoses," a poem in which Hancock mutates into a chaos of roles. The three poems were spread over two issues of the Poetry Society's journal and announced its transformation from the conservative Poetry Magazine to the avant-garde New Poetry.
