I am cracked, but wise
as I dismantle my Jericho Wall
and retrench all horn players
Feisty and full of zest, Junice Direen’s poems practically sing the narrative. Strong, with a distinct voice, they leap from the page and somersault into your senses.

The ocean has laddered itself against pylons
Jules Leigh Koch has a control of the medium that rarely falters. The poems are well timed and sustained in tone, and never overstep their mark.

I've got to go out. In the open.
Where I can be seen.
Jason Sweeney: ‘All my writing is like air-conditioning. Impure ventilation. Driven by bad sex, violence, television, pop culture, big scary cities, architecture, music and boys. And probably a lot more.’
