Thanks Janice and Anne. Janice, I've been really pushed for time lately but have found time to write. Apart from the editing and general plotting, interviewing Stephen Edgar (who has some very interesting things to say about poetic craft), I've been full-on teaching up to the recent HSC, being a new granddad (Aurora Neill-Stevens, born November 4th, photo here with my wife Susan: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3294/...5c0f23bf_o.jpg ), house renovations and I've just written my 50th poem in the last two and a half months, most of it (I think) the best work I've done.
