On the Sixth Day of Christmas, we bring you Gillian Laker, Julie Maclean, Amlanjyoti Goswami

by Helen Ivory | Dec 26, 2021 | Featured, Poetry, Twelve Days of Christmas

      The Twelvey Night Mummers I must have been nearly nine when the Green Man and good Saint George deranged our winter parish. A gilded Turk and terrifying horse, the doctor with his bottle and bag, coaxed something very old to curl around the...

On the Fifth Day of Christmas, we bring you Finola Scott, K.S Moore, Scott Elder

      Silver Lining after Billy Collins What a relief it is not to be boarding that Qantas plane, the hours of boredom, the cramp, the endless movies and then that sudden view of Sydney Opera House. How much better to be pounding the streets wearing a...

On the Second Day of Christmas, we bring you Sean Smith, Rose Anderson and David Van-Cauter

by Helen Ivory | Dec 22, 2021 | Featured, Poetry, Twelve Days of Christmas

      Christmas TreeΒ  The chainsaw, a hive of angry wasps, chewed the bark and something tall and graceful collapsed with a low groan as its needles pricked the earth. Below, the city lights were plugged into the socket of the bay as we loaded the tree...

Christmas Word & Image from Pletts and Berger

by Helen Ivory | Dec 21, 2021 | Twelve Days of Christmas, Word & Image

        In Light Honey, I think that to say is in light. (At Night the States, Alice Notley) Tonight, the bellied arcs bear pearls. The borrowed luminescent studs of drowning ferris wheels flare and unfold black upon herself. I walk, name you,...
