  I will listen I will look 
  Then it winds up in a book 
  Time and observation's all it took 
  Life is like a drawing board 
  On the wall my thoughts are stored 
  Nothing is forgotten or ignored 
  Joining dots, threading string 
  Puzzled pieces time will bring 
  Emerging then this thing 
  I write it down before its lost 
  Memory is all it cost 
  Onto a paper then its tossed

  As our weekly poem of 30-July-2006, “Jazz Fantasia” was a special challenge because it isn’t just about jazz, it IS jazz. The rhythm is central, but not so clearly defined, so we had to play around and improvise.  Every reading is unique!  (Summary by LauraFox)

After years of feeling isolated within her marriage, this reality hits her hard and her mental health is suffering.Heading to Sunset Meadow Health Farm was to be her escape from hatred and self-loathing. Instead an aggressive dose of the winter vomiting bug sweeps the complex leaving her and the other wellness seekers, “abandoned in our shitty rooms to literally shit ourselves into next week!”There she meets force of nature Martha who manages to seduce her, and ultimately help heal her broken heart and soul.Curiosity contains some strong language, and adult content throughout.Praise for Amanda Brunker.“Amanda has a lovely way of writing,” Jilly Cooper.“Funny, poignant and honest. Curiosity deals with bisexuality in a very sensitive manner. And exposes unintentional homophobia by average people,” The Sunday World.“I loved it. Funny, sexy and honest. I laughed and looked over my shoulder as I listened,” Pat Shortt.

  Cinema of the Present

  Lisa Robertson

  What if the cinema of the present were a Möbius strip of language, a montage of statements and questions sutured together and gradually accumulating colour? Would the seams afford a new sensibility around the pronoun ‘you’? Would the precise words of philosophy, fashion, books, architecture and history animate a new vision, gestural and oblique? Is the kinetic pronoun cinema?
   
  These and other questions are answered in the new long poem from acclaimed poet and essayist Lisa Robertson. The book is available with four different back covers, designed by artists Hadley + Maxwell.
   
  Praise for Lisa Robertson:
   
  'Robertson proves hard to explain but easy to enjoy. . . . Dauntlessly and resourcefully intellectual, Robertson can also be playful or blunt. . . . She wields languageexpertly, even beautifully.' —The New York Times
