Was an Australian poet and oriental scholar. He is chiefly remembered as the enigmatic other half of Ern Malley. Noted American poet and academic John Ashberry included the Ern Malley poems in his syllabus for many years. Ern Malley has had a widespread and lasting influence on Australian artists. Peter Carey's novel My Life As A Fake is based on Ern Malley. Of special interest is the manner in which the poems were constructed. The two poets borrowed from various sources, including Shakespeare, their own poetry and an Army handbook on mosquitoes, and by interpolation, constructed the poems. The poets argued that their construction method disassembles the poet's voice and renders the poems meaningless. Although many thought otherwise, arguing that Ern's poetic voice, brittle with pain and seasoned by loss, shines through and consolidates meaning. The difference of opinion raises the question as to the calibration of the different levels of consciousness in the creative process. Stewart preferred the formal order of the Apollian consciousness over the wild and unrestrained Dionysus consciousness. He is usually described by critics as a traditionalist and conservative but described himself as a conservative anarchist. A witty and engaging letter writer, many examples have been retained by the National Library in Canberra.
