My next book of poetry, ‘Whose broken is this? and other poems’ will be available very soon. I go into hospital on Friday lunchtime for a femoral intramedullary nail. So in my more lucid moments after that I will post details of availability, how you can buy signed copies, price etc etc. John

Scott Morrison is the removalist

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is the removalist — removing anything that might stop the Coalition retaining Government at the next election or, at least, the things that could turn the defeat into a rout.

Morrison’s Coalition government in complete disarray

Complete with a new leader, this Government remains in complete disarray — merely keeping the seat warm for Labor, I write in Independent Australia.

The lifeboat – a poem

I am become a tablet A pill to kill the enemy within Out damn spot rages nightly And every day Where hope abandons hope And grows again A gain that walks better today But not so well tomorrow Tottering between pain and moving   Out damn sorrow and take with you The filth that spews […]

Prime Minister Scott Morrison: Ten days that did not shake the world

Scott Morrison’s timidity and inaction have been driven by the irreconcilable differences between the moderates and conservatives within the Government and the rejection of the Coalition’s brand of neoliberalism by many workers and others.

Signed copies of my first book of poetry

In all the excitement about the contract for my second book of poetry arriving recently, I forgot to mention that you can still buy signed copies of my first book, Songs for the Band Unformed. Here is a link to do that through Independent Australia.
