File Astrálach, foilsitheoir agus eagarthóir ba ea John Ernest Tranter (29 April 1943 – 21 Aibreán 2023). D'fhoilsigh sé os cionn fiche leabhar filíochta, agus in 1997 bhunaigh sé an tréimhseachán liteartha ar líne Jacket, iris a d’fhoilsigh sé agus a chuir in eagar go dtí 2010, nuair a thug sé d’Ollscoil Pennsylvania í. Rinne sé obair raidió déanta freisin: rinne sé féin agus Jan Garrett an clár fadtréimhseach Books and Writing don Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). 

 Beatha 

Rugadh Tranter in New South Wales. D’fhreastail sé ar scoileanna tuaithe agus fuair sé BA in 1970. Bhí Dochtúireacht sna hEalaíona Cruthaitheacha aige. 

Den chuid is mó, d’oibrigh sé mar fhoilsitheoir, mar mhúinteoir agus mar léiritheoir raidió. Rinne sé a lán turas léitheoireachta thar lear agus bhí cónaí air in Sydney, Melbourne, agus Brisbane, agus i Londain, Cambridge, Singapore, Florida agus San Francisco thar lear. Bhí sé ina chónaí in Sydney ag deireadh a shaoil, áit ar reáchtáil sé féin agus a bhean chéile Lyn an ghníomhaireacht liteartha Australian Literary Management.ALM – Australian Literary Management: http://austlit.com/. Bhí beirt chlainne acu. 

Litríocht

In 1975 bhí sé ar bheirt a chuir an clár raidió Books & Writing  ar bun don Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). In 1987 agus 1988 bhí sé i gceannas ar chlár seachtainiúil ealaíon ar an raidió ag an ABC, agus idir 1990 agus 1993 bhí sé ina eagarthóir filíochta ar an iris The Bulletin.

Fuair sé a lán comhaltachtaí agus deontas agus bhí sé ina scoláire cuairte ina lán institiúidí. Is iomaí duais filíochta atá faighte aige, agus tá a lán díolamaí curtha in eagar aige. Chuir sé tús le tionscadal a dtugtar an Australian Poetry Library air anois agus os cionn 42,000 dán ann le filí Astrálacha ó 1800 go dtí anois. Tá suíomh Idirlín aige féin. In 2014 bhunaigh sé an Journal of Poetics Research ag http://poeticsresearch.com, in éineacht le triúr eile: an Dr Kate Lilley, Ollscoil Sydney; an Dr Ann Vickery, Ollscoil Deakin; agus an tOllamh Philip Mead, Ollscoil Western Australia.

 Sliocht 

He knew he had to find a meal ticket. 
The last racket was a turkey. Then the scene 
changed, but intermittently, as through dark mist,  
and he found that he had become fashionable. 
He travelled up to his old college. So there he was, 
week-long, the honouree and his gadget: 
a shoulder holster with a spring release.(Sliocht as “Down by the Station”.)Bhí a fhios aige gurbh éigean dó riar a cháis a fháil.
Thit an tóin as an jaibín deireanach. Ansin tháinig 
athrú ar an scéal, más idir amanna é, mar a bhí ceobhrán ann,
agus fuair sé amach go raibh sé faiseanta.
Chuaigh sé suas chun a sheancholáiste. Féach ansin é,
ar feadh seachtaine, fear urraime agus a ghaireas:
curra gualainne le scaoilteoir sprionga.
