Woah

Okay, here I am in the real Sprawl, aka Japan. Woah. Haiku conference went well, tho I have to admit to slight fatigue – too many people cross the line between haiku and spirituality for my liking. They are only poems people. Only wrote about four haiku in three days. Went to Kyoto which is…

Yam Yam Pang refers to the strange habit of some designers of placing odd English words together and placing them on bags, t-shirts and the like, leading to a weird po-mo kind of garble intelligible to no one. Hi from Japan, home of the Pang. Presently in Shinjuku, 10pm, wishing I was wearing sunglasses. Neon…

Now that the embargo has ended on mentioning UQP’s Best Australian Poetry of 2003, I can breathe a sigh of relief and inform you, in all openness, that I am in it. Or at least, a poem of mine is in it. “In A Dim Sea Nation” was first published in papertiger #2 last year.…

Yesterday I had the rare pleasure of seeing Hot Soup Girl live in poetic performance, reading some of her classic pieces, including the one about handkerchiefs. The Babble venue in Fitzroy was pretty packed for a Sunday, which was encouraging to see (though I suspect most of the attendees were part of the Visible Ink…

I’ll just continue on tinkering away here, in self-imposed exile, on the deck of my careening schooner. Some people grow gardenias. Others derive simple pleasure from a McDonalds brown paper bag, stuffing themselves with shit on public transport, gloating. Maybe a cultural studies academic could write a brief, but explosive diatribe on the issue. The…

Fire services in the Camp Davey region were still on high alert last night, after a freak accident within the superstar’s secluded compound. While details, as ever, remain sketchy, it appears that the local fire brigade’s resources were stretched to their very limits when Davey accidentally set himself on fire. “I think he was trying…

“He [Sting] will not look into the audience when he plays. He has this sense of decorum, because if he does look down, he’s afraid he will laugh. We threw dead chickens across the stage, all kinds of shit, trying to get him. Nothing …” … Marsalis finally got to Sting when the group appeared…

Camp Davey erupted this morning after it was learnt that the NME has apparently rejected a request from the troubled artist to stop the war in Iraq. “Look, I don’t know who you are or what camp you belong to,” snapped a harried-sounding NME staffer via telephone from London, “but there’s a war going on,…

Tyrone hears me coming. He?s got the back door open as I pull up, heaving, in a compressed mess of jass-fumes and the motorway?s electricity evaporating out of me. “Davey, jack your freaking payload, hey? I?m not burning hydro time hanging around for any more scenarios, okay?” “Buff my ram, Tyrone!” “Davey?” “Kick it, man…
