love: a test run is my first foray into ebooks. I still seek publication via the journals & poetry publication websites & competitions … but the reality is, I have already written more poems than I’m ever likely to see published via traditional methods. & I’m certainly not writing poetry for the $$$$.

I want people to read my stuff. To connect with it. To be moved by it. Even to disagree with it. Which is why epublishing is so amazing. & why I’ve taken this first Test Run step … & why there are more planned.

bingolingo

poems based on the nicknames for calling bingo numbers

Fire Sketches

based on experiences of recent bushfires near my family home & the effect on friends who lost their houses, sheds, cars, etc in them
