What a privilege it was yesterday to perform a few of my poems with some of Adelaide’s best poets. At Wakefield Press, Mile End, Garron Publishing celebrated its fabulous chapbooks with readings from Mike Ladd, Rachael Mead, Jules Leigh Koch, Aidan Coleman, Louise Nicholas, Jelena Dinic, Helen Lindstrom, Sharon Kernot, Gary MacRae, Steve Evans, Jude Aquilina….. and David Adés in absentia (David currently lives and works in Pittsburgh so Rachael and I read his two poems from War Music.) I read my Albert’s Armistice and ANZACS from the War Music chap and radiology (a collaboration with Maggie Ball) and resolution/D-generation from Policies & Procedures which will be out around September.

Thanks to Michael Bollen and Margot Lloyd from Wakefield Press and Gary MacRae and Sharon Kernot from Garron for the opportunity to be on the same stage (well, 3 trucking pallets really) and appreciate once again how much poetic talent we have in this modest city!
