I think it's good to forget that you are a poet, writing a poem, within a poetry scene and just live and write. Afterall your poetry wont disappoint you as much as poetry politics will. (....& if it does, yr in trouble..:) I think great work is done outside a 'scene' simply because a 'scene' takes up valueable time and energy. Although perhaps it is good for a break or an amusement inbetween books.:) Whilst I will not be listening to silly things on 3RRR (approx. 6,000 kms away from where I live, anyway) I must say I love Australian poetry, most if not all of it..... and okay I have a soft spot for the poets who write it as well ;-) -- All the Best, Coral Hull -------------------------------------------------- Thylazine: http://www.thylazine.org/ -------------------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
