'Brendan lives within a short walk of Wentworth Falls Lake, in the upper Blue Mountains of New South Wales, and finds pleasure, inspiration and renewal in the changing seasons and moods of this body of water that was created when European settlers dammed Jamison Creek in 1878 to supply water for the steam trains that carried passengers to and from Sydney long before electrification of the line.' (Publication summary)

That week, we went to a kabuki show,

stories of wandering souls

in search of revenge, or lost love.

On my last night in Tokyo

my father comes in

at a wooden gate, wet with rain…

from ‘The Wooden Gate’
