Notes from Chennai: Rigour and Flow in Urban India
I am so pleased to introduce Melbourne poet Andy Jackson, who is kicking off our new monthly blog series that explores ideas of poetry and place, both domestic and abroad. In late 2011, Andy undertook an Asialink-supported residency to India. …

Andy Jackson reviews Patricia Sykes
Modewarre: home ground by Patricia Sykes Spinifex Press, 2004 In spite of poetry's continued insistence on its own marginality, its retreat into abstract stylistic expression or into words that act as anaesthetic or lullaby, there is still the possibility that …
Andy Jackson: Hearing things at the interactive sound exhibit

Andy Jackson: No Anchovies Please!
or, Is there a place for combining music and poetry? Like I had just suggested putting anchovies in his ice-cream, a fellow poetry connoisseur once screwed his face up and told me that a poem put to music was not …
