Well, I do believe, I've been caught bang to rights
and I was talking about 'tired words' in the discourse
around poetry. Like some others, I now prefer 'poisoned
pastoral' over the much trumpeted 'anti-pastoral'. Which
(if Deb Comerford doesn't mind) is why I prefer 'should-
have-been-strangled-at-birth' over 'emerging' and 'emergent'
poets.
Neither are approved activities down at Centrelink.
