Shopping list poem
April 18, 2013
Horror novelist Kaaron Warren, who is not at all horrible, has just posted a short poem of mine on her blog, with a Very Snappy Title:
‘A Short Poem Inspired by Two Shopping Lists Found Hidden Inside a Cookbook Purchased at the Lifeline Bookfair by Kaaron Warren, Novelist, March 2013’.
That word snappy is a very bad joke, which you will not understand unless you look at the poem. Here’s the link: http://kaaronwarren.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/refreshing-the-wells-20/
Kaaron’s novel Slights is really truly scary, and I recommend you chase it up. It is horror in a true sense.
The woman herself is the Special Guest at the Conflux SF convention next week in Canberra, and I hope to hear her read and perform on panels there. Here is the Conflux link: http://conflux.org.au/ This is the Australian national science fiction convention this year.
I hear there is a poet reading too, but that may just be a rumour…

Kaaron is lovely and sadly I will not be in Canberra this year to shout her a coffee I’m sure I owe.
Lovely and so funny in person. To think that those books come from such a friendly person! I would never have thunk it.
Dr Jekyll by day, Ms Hyde by night?
Have you read her 12 planets collection Through Splintered Walls?
I think I owe you a coffee for that remark, Sean! So sorry to hear you won’t be at Conflux.
No, not yet, and not this year, as I’m only reading poetry. But I look forward to reading more of her oeuvre.
Would you me to re-jig it into verse, Penelope? Then you can read it this year while it’s still hot!
Cool and groovy! I’ll pick it up at Conflux, then?
