Paper Dolls

I'm joining a group of rather wonderful artists to participate in Paper Dolls, a group show expanding on the theme of 'paper dolls' and leading from nostalgia | memory | dreams | the making of stories into a public space from places of secrets and whimsy. Works are by Susie Anderson, Melissa deLaney, Yasmin Keany, Jessica Knight, Jeremy Pryles, Lilly Rhiengold, Gemma Robertson, Zoe Steers, and me. The opening night is from 5pm on the 12th of April at D11 in Docklands. Here is the facebook event: www.facebook.com/events/562700550504703/?ref=51&source=1 And here is the flyer (super cute artwork by Zoe Steers):

Reviews of Women's Work: A Collection of Contemporary Women's Poetry

Here are a few more reviews of Women's Work that came out this year. I totally blushed over the little Overland review when they mentioned the "intense realism" of my poem: overland.org.au/2013/12/2013-in-poetry/ www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/review/women-ponder-lifes-moments-in-a-small-package-of-delights/story-fn9n8gph-1226623748997

koLABorAYshun 8: Komik Kapers

Tom Kent has asked me to be one of the feature poets at the next koLABorAYshun reading, along with the ever wonderful Steve Smart. The theme is "superheroes" so I'll be reading some of my own poetry as well as a verbal anthology of some of the super poetry that is out there. The open mic includes a competition for best poem about comics or superheros. It's on at 7pm on the 21st of November, at Willow Bar 222 High St Northcote. There's not much info online but there's a little grab of info at the end of last month's event listing: eventviva.com/event/286124724840354 And here's some other sources of info about koLABorAYshun: www.facebook.com/koLABorAYshun www.theatrepeople.com.au/features/thomas-kents-kolaborayshun
