Poems
As of October 2011, I’d posted over three hundred poems on this site, including many sonnets and search poems, as well as numerous poems that didn’t make it into chapbooks such as Abendland and Morgenland. I then ceased posting poems here, choosing instead to distribute them via my poem of the week newsletter. Then I stopped doing that too. Every now and then I post a poem here … but not as often as I’d like.

Mother Russia
'Mother Russia' was my first published poem, and the first poem I ever performed in public. It appeared in 1991 in Textbase, a short-lived journal put out by the people who ran the Reasonably Good Cafe on Abercrombie Street in Chippendale, Sydney. I remember attending the launch and reading my poem. Afterwards someone told me I read as if I was calling the races at Harold Park.

#firstworldproblems
i’m sitting here writing a poem (or at least pretending to) while a photographer shoots me with a wide-angle lens. of course it’s fake – this isn’t even my office, rather the media lab at yeonhui in north-west seoul, a…
