#METOO

No comments

Very proud to have a poem included in #METOO Stories from the Australian Movement  (Picador). My autobiographical piece ‘telling (on) you‘ revisits perplexing events from childhood.

The #METOO collection features diverse and thoughtful essays, with my favourites including Eleanor Jackson’s ‘On Not Talking to Germaine Greer‘ and Kaya Wilson’s ‘Among Men‘.

Released in May 2019, the collection has garnered many positive reviews, including in The Conversation, Arts Hub, The Australian, The Daily Bulletin, The Saturday Paper and the Feminist Writers Festival.

Available wherever good books are sold.

Wikipedia can wait

In this refreshing alternative to the Wikiplace, I challenge you not to laugh at the photo captions (with or without laundry baskets, and/or sharpie pens). Author Robin Elizabeth’s Write or Wrong blog (Uninspiration for the uninspired) is as entertaining as it is genre-defying.  She assures me that the Promising Azra self-scribble (inspired by the book’s cover) that her three-year-old son undertook, has now all but faded away.

Excellent Reading

The second highlight of my recent Melbourne visit was stumbling into Dymocks in Collins Street, to find an “Excellent!” on the Staff Picks recommendation for Promising Azra. Thanks Melbourne, I’ll be back as soon as I can. x
