Lots else to like in this list - I’m excited about new Azar and Jones, and Nelson’s debut!

Is there an #auslit community here? Is anyone reading Tim Winton’s Juice? I haven’t read a Winton novel in a long time and this one is making me weary.

Tom Jenks, who wrote “Spruce” – the original of the book that I drew from in my own new book “After Spruce” – has made a lovely and generous presentation of our work at Instagram.

Well … I’ve been shopping this book around for a publisher for the better part of two years and I’ve failed miserably to place it anywhere despite much effort and even more grovelling. So … in the embarrassing tradition of obscure poets everywhere, I decided to publish it myself. I wouldn’t have bothered but there are some decent until now unpublished poems in the collection that deserve to see the light of day: even if that light is only a glimmer.
And the cover’s pretty neat.
Anyway, you can order a copy here: https://rb.gy/k9imvy
I know, right? Self-publishing a book of poetry … the next thing you’ll undoubtedly hear about me is that I’ve joined a cult. Or that I’ve founded one. Either way, it’s a logical career progression. Fillet of pangolin anyone?
