I returned home to Sydney from my Writing-Retreat-For-One on the Cote d’Azur this week to some very good news. There in the mail was my contributor’s copy of Quadrant and a very much appreciated cheque. This is the first time Quadrant has accepted one of my poems for publication. The poem is titled Lying on a Harbour Beach at Noon. I feel honored to be included as a poet in this prestigious Australian literary magazine.
Congratulations!

thanks Daal. yes, i’m thrilled to have a poem finally published in Quadrant. the magazine have published many of my short stories over the last 15 years, but this is a first for poetry.

thank you Annika. yes, my writing- retreat-for-one works well for me at the end of each year. it’s just as much a regenerative time as a creative time in a very beautiful part of the world. although, of course, the best part is always coming home 🙂
