After a long, long wait, for the final poem to come Mortifications & Lies has finally hit the deck. Launched on 24 March in Armidale (home of publisher, Kardoorair Press) it's good to see it physical.
It's three poems: 'country', '&' and 'Lies' all on the subject of country, one's place it in, one's right to bomb other people's, and as occupier of a land which is not of one's own ancestors.
Orders can go through Kardoorair Press or from me.
Now for the anxious wait for reader's reactions ....

Trips and tours
Trips and tours that are currently in the wind for a future date are:
* Egypt and Jordan (or you can do one or the other or both) in April
* Writing tour of Italy (tour of literary locales + writing workshops)
* possible shorter trips to warm places (eg Vanuatu)
If you'd like to come on any of the trips, let me know and I'll send you details. If you're a non-writer and want to go on the Italian tour ... that's okay. No-one will force you to write things. It's a holiday after all. If your group would like to go somewhere special and need a particular writer/sort of writer, let me know.

Welcome to the Empire of Larks
Welcome to the Empire of Larks
The Empire of Larks is the blog of Chris Mansell, Australian poet (so limited, in description because there are a lot of poets out there including Chris Mansell poets in the US and UK - greetings to you, conomials!)
This blog will consist of whatever I want to put up for public reference on any given day: pictures, notes etc. It will most probably be erratic. For a fuller discription of my work go to: www.chris.mansell.name
Hoping you enjoy at least some of what is put here,
best wishes
