The latest issue of FT just arrived on my desk, with poems from Les Murray and Samuel Menashe, together with a spooky Halloween poem by Paul Lake, an Eratospherian too shy to toot his own horn. Paul's new novel is nearing publication as well, a flurry of work from him that deserves our congratulations.

What, me too shy to toot my own horn? Wait till June when my novel comes out. I'll be tooting like a steam engine.

In the meantime, I'll tout all the good poetry coming out in First Things. All of you fans down under might want to check out the poem by your Bard of Bunyah.
