Although I’ve been composing, playing and mixing original music for many years I have mostly avoided linking it to this site.

I began this website as a poetry blog in 2004.

Over time I’ve added short fiction, memoir and music/poetry remixes by me and others. Recently I’ve come around to deciding to include my “back archives” of musical composition as well – after all, it’s all creative composition, whatever form it takes!

I posted the 7^th Quartet version of this poem in May. This time it’s remixed by Mirek Kuzniar from Germany with an edgy heavy metal driving pulse.

Mirek has remixed and arranged my work more than twenty times. This one is from his album Colored Nights – poems by rob walker.

a clarity of smog – another poem which has been very good to me – partly remixed with Grand City Break by BOCrew of France.

My poet-mate Mike Hopkins has been incrementally posting a sequence of fantastic haiku-style poems on his blog ‘mistakenforarealpoet’ under the title ‘The President’s Mirror.’ I love them! What do you think?

(I suggest you start on this page  and scroll down so you can begin at day 1 to read them in order. But why should you listen to me?)

Great suite of poems Mike – and thanks for reminding us all once more that we can deal with serious subject-matter while having a laugh.

I should also mention that Mike Hopkins (as ‘mistakenforarealpoet’) is one of poets who can be found under “links” in the banner above.

I’ve also added Kathryn Hummel and Joshua Ip recently. Please check out their fine work.

STOP PRESS! As if to reinforce Mike’s talent, only today he’s been notified that his beautiful poem My father’s blood will be published in Award Winning Australian Writing 2007
