I’m delighted to have jointly-edited a new anthology of coastal poetry. Published by the South Coast Writers Centre, 34-37 Degrees South comprises work of 20 contemporary poets – both emerging and award-winning — from the Illawarra, Southern Highlands and South Coast of NSW, including:
Kathleen Bleakley | Jonathan Cant | Norman Fairburn | Amelia Fielden | Lajos Hamers | Tim Heffernan | Col Henry | Elanna Herbert | Kai Jensen | Moira Kirkwood | Linda Mcquarrie-Bowerman | Steve Meyrick | Brid Morahan | Ron Pretty | Paris Rosemont | Ed Southorn | Dorothy Swoope | Elizabeth Walton | Melanie Weckert | Myfanwy Williams |
The digital collection is available to read and download here – and is also available in an easy-to-read format.

And for music something rare and delightful from Ethiopia, here’s nun and blues pianist Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou with her 1963 piano solo album (Youtube).

Happy it is openly shared in a readable pdf format. I’ve downloaded it and read the intro. Will make comment after reading. Also listened to a few tunes off of that excellent album. She definitely has her own style and it works well in moving it along but at an easy pace.

Downloaded for bedtime reading. Love the piano playing – what amazing fingers she must have. I used to play a lot. Classically trained. Age prohibits my fingers from quick movement nowadays. It was quite a shock to discover that.
