'Listen, bitch’, he says. ‘Listen, bitch’. That’s what they all say. And we have been. Listening.

'Poet Melinda Smith and artist Caren Florance are back with another excursion into the linguistic and visual pleasures of found text, a joint practice which brought us 2017’s Members Only. With this book, Listen, bitch, they turn their attention to misogynist language, working with a corpus of several decades’ worth of statements by powerful Australian public figures (and other blokes with big platforms). By listening very closely to the snarlings of what Kate Manne calls the law enforcement branch of the patriarchy, these poems attempt to map the lines women are still not supposed to cross in contemporary Australia, and to document the consequences suffered when they do. The results are sometimes harrowing, sometimes ridiculous, and always thought-provoking.'

'Cavorting with Time is a series of poems about female ageing and mortality. Jacqui Malins shares them here as a work in progress, a script that will develop and mature over time, gathering notes and annotations with each new presentation. She has performed variations of it solo, with musical accompaniment, and now it performs on the page.'  (Publication summary)

'Working Papers: hone/torrent is an experimental collaborative artist book project. It explores disruption, disorder and erasure as a creative methodology. Unbound, interfolded and uncut, its folded lack of logic forces the reader to unfold the pages in ways that demand extra space, time and thought. The poetic text, handset by the poet in a stream-of-consciousness composition and then repeatedly overprinted by the printer in an similarly ‘random’ manner, hints at narrative, playing with itself and the reader’s eye, allowing shallow looking and close reading.'
