.. to start the autumn with flying colours I finished my first book in six weeks, a collection of poetry and prose put out by Southerly. The review I wrote, finished this morning, is for inclusion on a literary review’s website but I felt something move inside me when I completed the article and sent it off by email to the editors. It’s been six weeks since I read a book, and what’s on my ledger next is something about marriage published 90 years back.
It’s also a book about a place I am familiar with, Sydney Harbour, where I grew up half a lifetime ago.
Like many of my friends I mucked about with boats and I have boats in artworks in the new hang I made for my living room (see below). A big item is being worked on at the framer’s currently, a valedictory flag my uncle Elmer received at his place of work when he quit, which I’m having mounted and readied to hang so that it will last decades.
