oggi, 26 settembre, a Roma: “Prati”, di Andrea Inglese, da TIC Edizioni & Libreria | differx

There are, perhaps, bigger names in #Australian #poetry but it is difficult to find someone who is more universally respected than Tim Metcalf. From his own work (ten collections, one of which – The Moon the Bone – is a volume of selected #poems) to his editing of others’ work in the award-winning collections Verbal Medicine (2006) and Maybe Street: Selected Poems of Anna Buck (2021), Dr Metcalf has developed a deserved reputation as a #poet completely in charge of his quietly explosive powers and as a sensitive reader with a physician’s precise skill in textual criticism of poetry.

I was therefore gobsmacked recently to discover that Tim had not only read my 2024 collection of #pandemic poems, After Spruce, but that he had gone to the extra trouble of reviewing it.

And what a #review it is! In fact, I am not too proud to freely admit that I am firmly of the view that the review of the #book is better than the book itself. I have never, and I know I will never again, receive the praise that Dr Tim has seen fit to lavish on my little book. It’s both humbling and validating and is a most welcome birthday gift for After Spruce, which celebrates its first anniversary of #publication this month.

Huge thanks to Dr Tim for his very kind words and also to Graham and Marie Farram who subtly worked in the background to ensure that ‘the book with the #pangolin on it’ made it across Dr Tim’s desk. I am most grateful.

Abtrobus's poetry is about navigating national/racial identity and the hearing world; I'm excited to see all the formal experimentalism I have read about!

If you like poems about alleged UFO and alien interaction with the space shuttle programme or just good, old-fashioned wacky punctuation then you’ll love “A Triangular-Shaped Laser-Hole Leg Injury” (from my collection ‘Never Mind the Saucers’) which has been kindly re-printed by editors L.M. Cole and Jared Povanda at Bulb Culture Collective today. Bulb Culture specialise in re-publishing works that originally appear in now-defunct publications.

"wr / eck?"

When language breaks down at the edge of consciousness, what emerges?

New experimental poetry: "Echoes in Ice" and two other pieces that deconstruct language at the cellular level.

Where traditional verse ends, these begin—using broken typography, parenthetical consciousness, and fragmented text to create meaning through fracture itself.

Experimental Poetry: Meta-Verses in Fractured Form | Medium

Three experimental poems push language to its limits through fragmented text, broken typography, and stream-of-consciousness, where form becomes content.
