Editorial: “Work”
•
11 min read
I got my first paid job while I was still at school, working as a milk delivery boy in Wollongong, an industrial city in Australia where I lived with my family in the 1980s. I’d work three to four hours per night, three or four days per week, and received AUD3 per hour, plus benefits.…

Apart from one or two forthcoming poems, these are the last to have been published first on this site. In the future, I’m hoping to be a little more generous when it comes to journals, and will be sending them only fresh poems that have not previously been ‘read’ by either human eyes or crawling…

Stockholm Calling

Just like a Californian burrito maker, I’ve been preventing myself from spilling the beans by keeping them strictly under wraps (rim-shot!) but now seems as good a moment as any to announce that I will be moving to Stockholm. In ten days.

In November 2011 I gave a lecture at BTH on the subject of my PhD thesis. I’ve posted the full video of the lecture, some of the introductory remarks I made, and a link to the Powerpoint presentation I used. Enjoy!

Pat Cash on Wimbledon and tennis balls
•
2 min read
The ITF needs to do something to help the volley because, at the moment, it has died. The attacker has no chance. Pat Rafter or me, at our best, would get smashed out there. The balls they use here are soft and they fluff up after three games. After a few games it’s almost impossible…

My MA (Creative Writing) thesis, a 30,000 word novella, described the invention of Marzipan in a fictional German town during a Famine in the 1400s. This paper maps its history and terrain, offering some hints as to Marzipan’s general composition and effects.

I began writing the story of Marzipan: a Confection in the mid-1990s, the first results of which were published as the prose piece ‘A Brief History of Marzipan’ (New England Review, UNE) in 1999. I’ve re-posted it here for posterity. Or something.
