Launching this week-end at QPF

Angela Gardner's 2006 Thomas Shapcott award winning collection 'Parts of Speech' (UQP 2007) will be launched on Saturday at the Queensland Poetry Festival. Angela is the Editor of the online journal foam:e and a friend of mine. I've had the pleasure of reading her wonderful book and look forward to the official launch at the Judith Wright Centre's Performance Space during this week-end's poetry festival events. Angela is the Editor of foam:e and a well known visual artist as well as a poet. Her collection is outstanding and in particular, the sequence 'The Twelve Labours'.

Foam:e's 2008 edition will see me guest editing and will include a review of 'Parts of Speech' by Jena Woodhouse. I am still looking at accepting poetry submissions up until end November, so if you haven't already sent something, knock yourself out, send and see what happens.

...

Also launching with Angela's book is 'The Best Australian Poetry 2007' (UQP 2007) - Series Editors Bronwyn Lea & Martin Duwell and Guest Editor John Tranter. I've had a sneak preview and think that many will be surprised and also delighted with Tranter's selections.

One paragraph in Martin's & Bronwyn's introduction which caught my attention, (and following discussion of Jacket's online success);

"A short list of other Australian-based, online poetry magazines that have steadily grown in profile might include Cordite, Divan, Retort, Stylus Poetry Journal, hutt and foam:e.
Since we monitor each year the ground rules for our anthology, we have updated our initial decision to avoid taking poems from electronic journals. In coming anthologies, we intend to add the best of these sites to our list of literary magazines from which we source the year's best poems."

A little celebration now surely.
All the poems published in those online journals are likely to get a look-in for next year's collection.
The online revolution, yeah...
