On a very hot last Thursday evening I went along to the joint launch of Amelia Walker\u2019s J<\/em>ust Your Everyday Apocalypse<\/em> and Graham Catt\u2019s The Hieronymous Bosch Shopping Mall<\/em>. I really like the work of both of these poets (I\u2019ll review them later) and it was especially enjoyable to hear them perform their own work and be introduced by Mike Ladd and Kate Deller-Evans.
\nIt was a very belated \u2018launch\u2019 for Hieronymous<\/em>. My copy was signed two years ago!
\nI seem to recall that my bibliophobia<\/em> (also published by Rob Riel\u2019s Picaro Press) came out at about the same time and Graham & I did a swap and I quoted from the book on Christmas Eve of 07 on the <\/span>old website.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

I never did get around to launching mine\u2026
\nGraham used the launch to piggy-back two more titles The Inverted World<\/em> (Picaro Press Wagtail # 84) and an hilarious self-produced mini-chapbook detailing his disastrous New Zealand ‘holiday’ of 07 entitled Travelling Backwards – Lost in New Zealand<\/em>, soon to be downloadable from his <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amelia\u2019s Just Your Everyday Apocalypse<\/em> is her second solo collection \u2013 and I think her best to date. It\u2019s a wonderful mix of styles from narrative to self-reflective through experimental and surreal to word-sketched portraits and concrete poems. Review to come. If you can\u2019t wait, look <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As well as being a cool launch, it was a great chance to have a yarn with a whole lot of other poets i hadn\u2019t seen since before the Japan adventure \u2013 Louise Nicholas, Elaine Barker, Mike Ladd, Jude Aquilina, David Mortimer, Stan \u2018Shen\u2019 Sim, Alice Sladdin, Jules Leigh Koch and probably a few more the Coopers has dislodged from my neurons.
\nMore on the poetry later\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
