In a nice piece of serendipity I was able to stay an extra day and accept the invitation to the launch of Rabbit Poetry\u2019s 7<sup>th<\/sup> edition The Sound Issue which includes my poem <em>the girl on the train to Shikama.<\/em> The poem appears as text in the substantial 176 page book as well as an audio version which was a collaboration with ccmixter\u2019s Melody Romancito (aka Calling Sister Midnight.) Thanks to organiser\/ editor-in-chief Jessica Wilkinson for inviting me to perform the poem live at the launch last night. It was also a pleasure to hear and meet \u03c0.O. , Ania Walwicz, Tim Grey, Autumn Royal and Susan Hawthorne as well as Jess herself. And thanks to \u03c0.O. for generously giving me a copy of his latest experimental magazine UNUSUAL WORK.<\/p>\n<p>I was pleased to see that both Max and Jacqui Merckenschlager have a song and poems on the 25 track CD. Max magnanimously gave me a copy of his Sorry Day Song some years ago and I played it to my music students at Woodcroft Primary. It\u2019s great to see this beautifully-produced song getting exposure at a national level.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more \u2013 and subscribe \u2013 to Rabbit <a href=\"http:\/\/rabbitpoetry.com\/\">HERE<\/a>.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.robwalkerpoet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Crowd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1789\" title=\"Crowd\" src=\"http:\/\/www.robwalkerpoet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Crowd-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.robwalkerpoet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Jess.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-1790\" title=\"Jess\" src=\"http:\/\/www.robwalkerpoet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Jess-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.robwalkerpoet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Rob.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1791\" title=\"Rob\" src=\"http:\/\/www.robwalkerpoet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Rob-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went to see my daughter Amy in Melbourne for a few days.
