What is the title of the anthology?
I also noticed the following:
Whispering Gallery Andrew Burke was born in Melbourne, Victoria. His
poetry has appeared in magazines across Australia, with minor forays into
the English and American markets. Besides four previous volumes of poetry,
he has had plays staged professionally, short stories and book reviews
published, teledocumentaries shown in many countries, and he has contributed
to poetry readings at sites from Singapore to Wagga Wagga. He has worked in
many jobs – from orderly at a detox centre to company director – and
presently teaches at university and TAFE, and co-ordinates writing
workshops.
