The Glugs of Gosh is a book of satirical verse written by Australian author C. J. Dennis, published by Angus & Robertson in 1917. The book’s 13 poems are vignettes of life in a fictional kingdom called Gosh, inhabited by an arboreal race (that is to say, climbers) known as Glugs. Dennis describes the Glugs as a stupid race of docile folk . The illustrations, by Dennis’s regular collaborator Hal Gye, depict the Glugs as short humanoids with large heads. Written in the style of children’s nonsense poetry, the work attacks free trade, along with what Dennis saw as Australia’s social conformity, intellectual cowardice and rampant bureaucracy. With an introduction by John Derum.
