Tim Thorne's review of Mortifications & Lies in Famous Reporter
Go to Tim Thorne's incisively intelligent review of Mortifications & Lies. It's interesting that those who have seen the works performed and then read them (see also Paul Cliff's review below) understand best how the poems in this book go. Many thanks to Ralph Wessman and his Famous Reporter.
Interview with Anne Kellas in Famous Reporter
Ralph Wessman has been putting up back issues of Famous Reporter on line ... including this ancient interview by Tasmanian poet Anne Kellas.
poem about the road
This poem exists in quite a few forms (page poem, performance version, visual/prose version and this is one). It makes distortion, partial understanding, ambient noise etc part of the 'performance' of the work and draws into question the level of understanding needed to understaind.
the word
An experment using anticipation and association. Uses the form of an early 'language' (not L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E) lesson.
