I was thrilled to be invited to read at the Lee Marvin readings last Tuesday (18 September).
Other readers on the evening included Nicholas Jose, Doug Mason and Canberra-based poet Geoff Page.
Here are some images from the evening, including me in action. All of these were taken by Martin Christmas (himself a writer, theatre director and showman). Thank you Martin!

Last Friday (14 September) I had a guest spot on ‘Chill the Friday Out’, a fabulous late-night community radio program at PBA FM. It was a last-minute invite so I didn’t have time to post the link here!
The program is hosted by producer and all-round musical talent Stefan Todor.
I read five of my poems and of course I had great fun!
There is a tiny chance that I may post the video to YouTube (Robert recorded me). I’ll let you know if/when I post it!
What a nice cheer-me-up: my poem ‘Damp gossip’ is published today in InDaily.
Read it here.
Thank you, InDaily.
Last year (19 and 21 November) I read a few poems on Cath Kenneally’s Writers’ Radio program (digital radio, online and 101.5FM).
I’ve just noticed that the podcast is now available to download from the website.
Here’s a direct link to the podcast.
I start around the 20-minute mark.
I am surprised, pleased and very grateful: my poem ‘I will not mourn you’ is Friendly Street Poets poem of the month for April.
You can read it here.
I will be reading a few as yet unpublished poems and chatting with Cath Kenneally on the Writers’ Radio program (digital radio, online and 101.5fm) at 1.30pm tomorrow (Sat 19 Nov). The program will be repeated at 3.30pm on Monday (21 Nov).
The program will then be available as a podcast to download for your listening pleasure here.
Yesterday (11/11/11) I won the Sydney Writers’ Centre
11-word story competition, which I entered at the, umm, 11th hour (sorry!).
My 11-word winner was this:
She took 11 minutes to regain consciousness. She forgave him again.
You can read all the great entries here.
Thank you Sydney Writer’s Centre. I’m looking forward to receiving my prize (a selection of books).
What fun!
