A Big Autumn Greeting!

Email sent out :)

Time for beanies, scarves and hot chocolates... it must be autumn! Cafes, blankets, crisp mornings and the dread of jumping from carpet to cold tiles.... Due to this change in season, it sprung to mind that I should begin a mailing list – to let you know what's going on in the poetry world! I discovered a new feature in my email account that could hack into facebook and import my facebook contact's details (high tech for me, let me tell you!), so let me know if you'd like to be included/discluded from this list.

Recently, the artist Cade Turner asked me to open his first solo exhibition “Light + Colour + Movement” with a poem at Gallery Red in Glebe. I was really inspired by Cade's work- how he captured movement in a still photograph- and the poem “Shutter” was birthed ! I've attached a copy to this update, I was honoured to have it on the program. If you get a chance, check out his website and look at his amazing photography (viewing them on the computer screen doesn't do them justice!) and then have a read of “Shutter”- I hoped to capture what he did in his photographs. It was also an advancement in a new style- a“visually inclined” poem, very much a response to Marinetti's work. (I'll let you discover Marinetti and the futurist movement on your own.. it's at least another email in itself!)

Coming up with the Art Tree Group is another local exhibition- so stay tuned for further details.

I'm looking forward to the coming months and I hope you enjoy whichever season you find yourself in!

Loving this song :)

there

to be
there
in a place
of non space or existence

there.

in moments occuring yesterday
and in between.

there.

is where you'll find me.

waiting for
tomorrow's rain,
blessing,
sacrifices.

there not here.
here not there.

time in popcorn packets
ready to go
two minutes to serve.

there.

Call you when the music is through...

So, I've been a plus one twice this week. Well, my next plus one is tomorrow. Interesting concept, "can you be my plus one?" . Addition to make the person look good? It's kind of nice to be asked, but still a bit odd. It's like being given the title of signifcant friend of the opposite sex.

Hopefully seeing Iron man 2 tomorrow. I don't think I'm going to even finish this essay. Due tomorrow.. haven't started. Oh, Em, get yourself together.

All will come together, for what it seems will seem to be.
