Not a political post or a post about any war. Just a post to show that life is the most beautiful thing. From absolutely nothing to winning a World Cup Game. Representing the country that gave me everything. Thank you 🇦🇺⚽️ @Socceroos never stop believing in yourself ⚽️

If you need some poetry in your day @EmmettStinson This actually fascinating for anyone who has seen Rod's books in Lifeline etc.
Rod McKuen sold 60 million books and 100 million records. Then he disappeared. slate.trib.al/zqbSEb2

Good episode
Enjoyable chat with Alice Allan on her wonderful #poetrysays podcast. Wherein I cast aspersions on: creative writing programs, prizes, Melbourne, and sundry. Shoutouts to Fay Zwicky, Charles Harrison, Archives Fine Books, and academics (notionally). poetrysays.com/

I was this many days old when I realised Beck's "Jack-Ass" uses a sample from Them's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" a track I got into at about the same time I was listening to Beck's Odelay.
