Tuesday poem and story
March 31, 2020
Both via link this time. One is to the Microflix festival, where my story ‘Makeover’ is one of the selected texts that someone may decide to make a film from: http://microflixfestival.com.au/2020/03/11/makeover-by-ps-cottier/ .
The other is to Not Very Quiet, where my poem ‘…scribbles, comments, glosses (annotations), critiques, doodles, or illuminations’ can be read. This one is about people standing (or sitting) at the side of history. https://not-very-quiet.com/2020/03/30/scribbles/ A recording of it may be posted too. Recordings are there in lieu of a launch, which was originally scheduled for last night, pre-virus.
PS Cottier 
Wonderful poem – particularly liked the image of the big three at Yalta ordering tea. So looking forward to reading your collections. Congrats also for the story (my next read).
Thank you, Peter. I was going to have a launch for one of my forthcoming books in May, but not sure when that will be now. I’ll certainly have more about them here when things ‘settle down’, as they say. (Makes me think of someone using a lasso on a virus, for some reason.)
Have you come across this initiative by red room poetry & oranges & sardines for poets whose book launches have been delayed ? There’s an anthology and some promotion – and payment (!)

Cheers Peter.
Thanks Peter. It is a great project.
