Etchings. Love & Something

-

Ilura Press have launched their journal Etchings 9: Love and Something. I went along to hear Adam Elliot, of Harvey Crumpet fame, launch the book to a sweltering gallery above Brunswick St.

Visible Ink is the RMIT literary journal and this year I've signed my life away to edit it along with Alison Karayan, Allison Browning and Drew Roberts.

You can secure your copy through Readings in Carlton. http://www.readings.com.au/product/9780980604818/lost-and-found-visible-ink-21

Good Grammar

I think Scottie used one to power up the warp drive in series three.

Along the way we wrote some short stories and somehow picked up the grammatical rules we needed in order to be understood. This system developed in the progressive atmosphere of the swingin’ sixties. Educators who had suffered through the drumming of archaic rules into their heads as children, used the spirit of the times to re-imagine the school system. Creative writing henceforth became the tool through which grammar was to be learnt, provi...
