I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me. Anna Quindlen

Going through all my submission archives trying to catch up, I [...]

this figure has been sitting in this guy’s yard, just up the street from me, for years, along with the unfinished boat - is it good enough for the Mundaring Sculpture Park?
I had in mind some quite sarcastic comments for this, but [...]

You have to feel sorry for Yagan’s statue, almost as much as for the fellow himself. Famously the statue suffered decapitations twice. I don’t think the reasons were really discovered, or the severed heads and, as far as I know, the head choppers were never caught. Oddly the best view of the crimes would have [...]
