Bernard O’Dowd: rewriting the colonial wizard of Oz

What happens when you cross a rhyming sonnet (written on the eve of the federation of Australia) with a 21st-century, post-avant sensibility?

finished watching #lssc featuring #edwardnorton channeling #waltwhitman: that was an awesome read. the only thing i can say to #stephenathome: we will never see your like again.

thinking of similar eps, including the great #ianMcKellin and other talented performers speaking truth to power across the centuries and across the millennia.

we’re all sad to see you go, but we love to watch you as you leave

Do I repeat myself?
Very well then I repeat myself,
(I am large, I contain duplicates.)
