Sylvia Malley: bestseller
Sylvia Malley is a cousin of the late Australian poet Ern Malley. She is the daughter of Ern's cousin, Morris Malley. The Ern Malley literary scandal caused the Malley family to fear poetry for many decades. However, Sylvia, a Malley inheritrix, could not avoid the family's innovative poetic genes, and one lunchtime while browsing through the Australian Poetry shelf in Dymock's Bookstore, George Street Sydney, she discovered Ern's poetic oeuvre in the Penguin Book of Modern Australian Poetry [ed.Tranter/Mead]. Since then she has become an avid reader of contemporary Australian Poetry and a closet poet herself. Through her internet browsings she discovered that the on-line poetry journal 'cordite' was seeking submissions for a 'Children of Ern Malley' issue, so she decided to take a chance with one of her recent poems. Sylvia works as an optometrist in the business district of Sydney. In recent years she has become a keen harbour ferry spotter. She lives in Manly.
Simper Malley: Being Out with New Couples Reminds Me of Monotremes
SIMPER MALLEY rapier and acerbic social observations are oftentimes mistaken for Bill Bryson-esque whinging. This is not the case. Bolstered by surviving the crushing poverty and abandonment of his youth, Simper exploded onto the global literary atlas in the early sixties with unmatched bravado. His Making Hamburger from Freshwater Trout while Fishing America for Pert, Young Chicks, published 1966, affords him to rest forever on his laurels in the public view; a perch he was never comfortable with as he felt his later work was far superior to his earlier successes. Simper Malley bought the farm, in every sense, in 1983. This is his most recent, posthumous publication. Montana misses him greatly.
Resole Malley: The New Italics
RESOLE MALLEY, a Trappist Monk, was raised by wolves. He has Canadian blood, which, unlike Canadian Bacon, doesn't stay fresh if left out. He has rambled around some, mostly from the bed to the bathroom, and once saw Prince in the Los Angeles airport. He also dated Vanity's sister, but has no claims to ethnic insider information. He published a novel once that some people liked. He also claims to have written “Islands in the Stream.” His wife tells him which shirt goes with which pants.

It's all incomplete. The seasons win that battle, but these poems, published for the first time here, are the wild surprise of women, of Malley girls. The Malley man was true as he was taken, still is. He is our …
Raven Malley: When He Was Maximised
RAVEN MALLEY is the daughter of Ethel Malley. She lived for most of the 1970s in a commune on the North Coast, Woomynlaynd, but after finally learning how to spell she moved back to Croydon and has devoted herself to re-inventing the lost works of her mother, who she believes was wrongly characterised as a suburban philistine due to a forged letter. Raven is writing a potentially explosive expose of the true Malley behind the ectoplasm, which asks “who really wrote Ern's poems?”

O’Hara Malley: Upper Level Arithmetic – or ‘If James Schuyler Got a Rise from the Ladies’
Hailing from Lilli Pilli, NSW, O'HARA MALLEY has enjoyed a storied career as dune buggy mechanic and part-time, literary urbanite. A double degree in heavy machinery maintenance and 20th Century Pop Culture (specialising in Judy Garland and her roles in feminist inebriation) has afforded O'Hara the unique opportunity to harness the affect of the crash-course, both in human life and vehicle operation., which he then projects onto characterisation. This is considered his specialty. His works have appeared in Stolling Rone, Stealing Roans, and Horse & Buggy Thievery Today.

Lee N. Mylar: The dynamic ribbon device
Lee N Mylar does not write poetry, fiction or libretti. Lee exceeds the constraints of the apolitical industry of literature, ironically, by submitting veiled revolutionary manifestos in the form of (cue hand-gestured quote marks) poems to the literary journals that get mentioned in The Age, then uses the rejection letters as rollie papers. Lee hates anagrams, and harms Satan age.

Posted in 23: CHILDREN OF MALLEY Comments OffHorsehead Malley: My Interview with Gravity
HORSEHEAD MALLEY is an emerging young writer from country Victoria. Her verbose nature proved to be an initial hurdle in procuring publications, however recent takes by Overly, Southerland, Me and Jen, Me and Daryl, and The Aging have uncovered a growing audience for Horsehead Malley's evolving style. She is a promising young writer, having received the Blossoming Toddler Literary Prize and the Developing Zygote Stroke of Uber Brilliance Jamboree in Writing awards given annually by the Victorian Arts Council. Good works are highly anticipated from Horsehead Malley. If this proves false, she will happily settle for being a journalist. She is a young and emerging writer.
