In Answer to "Banjo", and otherwise
- In Answer to "Banjo", and otherwise
"In Answer to "Banjo", and Otherwise" is a poem by iconic Australian writer and poet Henry Lawson. It was first published in "The Weekly Bulletin" magazine on August 6 1892, and subsequently re-titled "The City Bushman". It was the fourth poem in the Bulletin Debate, a series of poems by both Lawson and Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson, and others, about the true nature of life in the Australian bush.
In this poem, Lawson responds to Paterson's previous work in the sequence, "In Defence of the Bush". [ [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/In_Defense_Of_The_Bush Wikisource article - "In Defense of the Bush" by Banjo Paterson] ] Taken at face value, it might be read as a rather severe attack on Paterson's views, but it must be kept in mind that this "debate" was set-up by Lawson and Paterson as a means of providing material for publication.
