Very pleased to have my poem ‘A Hidden Apology’ published in Poetry Monash alongside fellow Central Victorian poets: Tru S Dowling, B N Oakman, Rob Wallis, Nola Firth and Ross Donlon.

A HIDDEN APOLOGY

We were always hiding
in the interim
living on fool’s edge
of love’s abyss.
Open places we could fall
in love
were hidden from full view
in the echo of precious words
that came too late
and of words
that came unasked for
in a time for listening unheard.

My poem ‘Family Violence’ was Highly Commended in the inaugural Rhonda Jankovic Poetry Award on social justice.

Producer and host of two radio programs on Melbourne’s 3CR – ‘Spoken Word’ (poetry) and ‘SUWA’ (current affairs) – Rhonda was a staunch advocate for emerging poets and justice for those disadvantaged in society.

Highly acclaimed poets Judith Rodriguez and Tom Shapcott presented the awards at the Frankston Library.

Santo Cazzati, 3CR Broadcaster, will have a special episode of ‘Spoken Word’ on the Rhonda Jankovic Poetry Award, which will feature the winning poems, including mine.
