If I may quote a few > lines, without disturbing copyright here are two short selections: Hi Jill thanks for that. . . After reading Martin J's sonnet square (just love the first title; duende in darlinghurst) and John T's sonnets online it strikes me that putting White dog on the Internet would be a good idea, too. . . and there are probably quite a few other now out of print chap books and collections that could be included, when I really start to think about it. David Herkt is another that comes to mind. I know I have also made vague promises about making Zenia freely available online now it is out of print and I had intended finishing Bar-B-Q for online since it is only about 24 pages, when I get around to extracting the drafts from me old Mac SE hard drive. Problem for me is I am way behind schedule with my current book (narrative structural problems to solve) and can't afford the distraction, let alone my isolated position. Perhaps you could spin the idea of putting Susan's book online around some of yr contacts in Sydney, just as you do the rounds. I don't expect you to go out of yr way, of course. Just an idea. Maybe one of the unis like Sydney uni or UNSW. (Is Margaret B still at UNSW, I'm sure she may be able to help???) Actually I haven't even done a google to see if it is there already. (I know this sounds slack, but in rural Aust people have actually died because the only phone-line is tied up on an Internet connection, so my time is further limited.) best wishes Chris Jones -- i live on the edge of the aussie outback and go bush beyond email access without knowing in advance i don't ignore yr post simply wait and i will reply
