  • Epigraph: 'I feel completely detached from any country, any group. I am a metaphysically displaced person. - Emil Cioran' 

    The law of delicacy according to which an authorhas a right to use what he himself has experienced,is that he is never to utter verity but is to keepverity for himself & only let it be refracted invarious ways.— Søren Kierkegaard


    He talked of many different things, sayingexactly what he thought; he spoke of himself, andtold the truth as far as mortal can tell it.— George Gissing

Rethinking Australia, reconfiguring capitalism, putting out fires. Loose buttons and lost contact lenses. Trickle-down predators. On the day that the clouds are black, the heavy rain falls like silver. What compels you? What moves you? What radicalises you? What do you imagine you would have done in those circumstances? Giving form, cooking and dreaming, meeting at the threshold. Lightness and water and breathtaking love. The year in truth-telling. Writing for the future. You know how to dance. Just dance.'
