I have been away at the Overload Poetry Festival in Melbourne - it was on fire, it was like being in the centre of a Poetry Storm - and while I was there my daughter (who is a jump jockey) fell off her horse and broke her neck. (No spinal or brain damage and she is locked into a halo brace for 12 weeks and then will be nearly as good as new. )
So when I staggered back onto poetryetc I had 1000s of emails and no way could I get back into the conversation.
So I just deleted everything and I am trying to start again.
Oh, and I will be the Whiting Fellow in Rome next year for 6 months which I am expecting to enjoy as much as it is possible to enjoy anything.
Now I will go back to slowly working on the poem I started waiting in the Distressed Relatives Room at the Alfred Hospital for my daughter to be airlifted in.
It is coming very very slowly indeed, but it has to be very accurate and exact.
greetings to all
