Month: September 2021

A photo of a page on a blue background with the text of a poem reading, ‘Abundantly blue / after FLOURISH, Leanne Vincent, 2020. Deliberate heel-toe on timeworn soil, lap / upon lap upon dizzying blue lap / around blueprint backyard. I breathe / blue air to ease confinement, blue breath / skimming and swallowing the sky. / On blue-lined paper with blue-ink pen / I note: each blue petal of blue agapanthus, / bold blue bug on blue-sizzling rock. / With each tiny, tightened observation / I feel slower, calmer, bluely decadent. / There’s abundance here. A treetop rustles / as a blue-faced honeyeater takes flight.’

New poem in APJ 11.1

September 14, 2021Leave a comment

I’m lucky enough to have a poem in Australian Poetry Journal 11.1 ‘local, attention’ called ‘Abundantly blue.’

With huge thanks to editors Stuart Barnes and Claire Gaskin for their work in compiling this amazing issue.
