I want to cast back to the sandspit at noon,

its heedless pulse finding every scooped-out

Extract from Inlet by Jo Thorpe in In/let (Steele Roberts 2010)
Come and hear
Poet Jo Thorpe
A dancer , Jo’s poems ‘dance’ in their delicious language, musicality and themes. I love her work - its texture, its sensuousness, its joyousness - and am 'choreographing' the event which is TODAY:
Sunday July 24, 4.30 pm- 6.15 pm
Rona Gallery 151 Muritai Rd Eastbourne. Refreshments. Koha: $5
Starts with an ‘Open Mic’ for local writers (we have half a dozen of them lined up including Manny Garcia and John Horrocks.)
Extract from Hunt the Slipper by Jo Thorpe

stopped by a highwayman wanting

on her black panther skins
spread out on the scintillant snow ...
One more WRITERS ON SUNDAY event: August 28 - Peter Walker historical fiction
