Co.lab – Words and Art 2014

Co.lab is an annual group exhibition presented by View Point Handmade Gallery (VPHG) and Bendarts featuring the collaborative work of writers and visual artists from Bendigo and surrounds.

I am exhibiting in two teams – as a poet with artist Eliza Tree
and as a photographer with poet Tru Dowling.
The 2014 Co.lab opening (6pm Thursday August 7) is the launch event for the inaugural Write on the Fringe Festival, a Capital Community Connect initiative.

Co.lab open – Thursday to Saturday, August 7th to 9th, coinciding with the Bendigo Writers’ Festival (Friday to Sunday, August 8th to 10th).

See an excerpt of my poem ‘Collecting Jaara History’ and a section of Eliza Tree’s painting ‘Fifteen Years to Gold’ as samples of the teams exhibiting at Co.lab, here – http://bendarts.org/Teams/index.html.

Poetry Monash 88

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.

Castlemaine Cup

The Castlemaine Poetry Readings, held each month at the Five Flags Hotel, Campbells Creek, showcases two outstanding feature poets and holds a vibrant Open Section, of poets in competition for a ‘Castlemaine Cup’, as awarded by the feature poets.

Sarah Day (Hobart) and Stephen Edgar (Sydney), two of Australia’s finest poets, came to read in Castlemaine, in April, and awarded me this beautiful ‘Castlemaine Cup’ for my poem ‘Forest Creek Goldfields.’
You can read this and other published and awarded poems by clicking on my Poetry page above.
