Not Fox Nor Axe Shortlisted for the Kenneth Slessor Prize
Surprised/delighted (surplighted?) that Not Fox Nor Axe has been shortlisted for the Kenneth Slessor Prize in the NSW Premier's Literary Awards:
I'll be at the ceremony on May 16, hoovering up the canapés like a poet should.
Some Things I'll Be At Soonish
Events! Here are the details of some, at which I will be reading from Not Fox Nor Axe:
La Mama Poetica, 16 February 2016 (with Geoff Page, Matt Hetherington and Brigitte Lewis)
The Melbourne Launch for The Best Australian Poems 2015, 18 February 2016 (with many a fine poet)
Sporting Poets, 20 March 2016 (with Pam Brown and Stuart Cooke, 5pm, Charles Weston Hotel, Brunswick)
And next Wednesday, February 10, I will be the resident poet on 3RRR's Multi-Storied.
So it looks like I'm finally going to be busting out of the writing attic (literally, my studio is an attic, with roosting pigeons and the whole kit and caboodle). See you soon.

Hope to see you there!
