CONTRIBUTORS
Adrian Wiggins
At the Darling Harbour Convention Centre
At the conference lunch the industry chatterboxes turn a gavotte, then prop and scythe about the buffet loading up pot roast, pumpkin salad, rendang. Says the keynote speaker bignoting counterflow down the queue: “Hey I’m on the Be More Biodynamic …
Blinkie ‘Bill’ O’Malley: The fête
“When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.” – Carl Jung Let me start by saying you are unstable. Eight deaths in eight days. At the home you thought you’d send your mum to. …
Blinky ‘Bill’ O’Malley: F#!* Yeah
“And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughing-stock or a painful embarrassment…” — Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra At the outset, let me just say this: this poem has Tourette’s — it wanted to be …
Blinky ‘Bill’ O’Malley: Dithyrambs of Dennis
If I had any ambition I’d make you a bouillabaisse in the Provençal in St Marks Square. To create intimacy in the poem, I turn up the volume & this piece conforms to an emergent post-OMGWTFBBQ cast in acrylic in …
Blinky ‘Bill O’Malley: Arts & Crafts
“… you can’t have art without resistance in the material.” — William Morris Ah, don’t feel guilty about the GM soy in the baby formula— those activists are arsehats & breastfeeding zealots & it’s unpiloted drones dropping in on …
Blinky ‘Bill O’Malley: Love Story Metabolites
Dear Nuala, oh noes, you’ve left your starting-a-new-life job in the bait’n’ice for that no-hoping armed & dangerous escapee again!? It’ll just lead to headlines: Fantasist poses as playboy & Headless body in topless bar you & …
When I met you in the hall
When I met you in the hall you were all inclement weather on a stony coast and you held my hand as though we were more than we could be: preppy kids in a pop-song duet retrofitting dignifying deniable half-truths …
Adrian Wiggins: After The Party
About the face she's photovoltaic. “There's marriage to make men lecherous,” she says, “I see it all the time in characters like you.” Still, a casual mention of the yacht by Lion Island sends her into a lather. She's dramatic; …
Flannery O’Malley: Child of Malley
This image, by Flannery O'Malley, was the cover image for our 23rd issue, Children of Malley”.
Flannery O’Malley: Bitter William
Flannery O'Malley was born in 1971 in a slab hut near Sassafras in the Turpentine Range. He attended the local school at Nerriga, but left at 15 after getting a job with a ride operator at the Braidwood Show. He then toured the state working at all the big shows — Bathurst, Dubbo, Cobar. He was killed tragically last year when a hydraulic ram failed on the Crazy Mouse Spinning Coaster at the Mudgee Show. This poem was found in his papers.
