This wenz, surfer-poet holly isemonger will be joining ratbag p via telephone ☎️ to discuss luke beesley’s avant gaga poems in in the photograph. !

I have so many questions… so many feelings… it’s just so meta, so surreal, so suburban, so daggy (daddy?), so much writing about writing poems that are also prose, fragments of dreams and daydreams and imaginary dreams that are maybe just fodder for the poem to nibble on?… holly help!

‘I am to spend the day at a full stop. The cars stop, and we are given the opportunity to wash them. I find I have a sponge in my hand when I jot these thoughts down.’ -time piece, luke beesley

harry says u should quit art school. melinda might tell u to meet your maker. we're talking girlery on what might well be ratbag poetics' last live broadcast out of cold ibiza (nipaluna (hobart)).

it’s been roughly or a rough 10 years since girlery was first published in so called australia. tonight I called harry reid to talk about it and read melinda’s laudanable poems.

‘You are legitimate
No matter what the Title says.’
~goldsome, mb

it feels like melinda was just on last wk, and the circle of life keeps going like a wheel or a cog, birth and rebirth of poems working corporate, but still finding a way (overtime) to look good doing it. omg is that tom ford?

‘A salary for naught in this frictionless sharing
a novels worth of the administrative leaking
through my veins now
I am small in the constellation of the way back machine.
I will not apply for leadership.
I will not lead into temptation.’

~Dealbreaker, Melinda Bufton

did someone say crossover episode?? Poetry says Alice Allan is joining Wednesday night (via prerecord) to talk Pam Brown, AusPo matriarch and poet of… what exactly? Click Here is the book in question, leaving us w more negative space than answers. 

      some poetry 
      is
      very good
      at futility

         *

  it i̳s̳ futile
  but
  it’s also
 ‘something to do’
