DAWN FANNY MALLEY (born David John Malley) was another daughter of Ern. Her poem was submitted by her bereaved lover Angwina Aedes who is currently raising their love child Sabine in the sandhills of Point Lonsdale. She says send money or fame, we'll take either.

As reported on Cordite News Explosion, we are humbled and disappointed to announce that this poem was in fact written by Jen Jewel Brown.
