Hi Ashley! Yes, pays to know! The APC's inaugural fest at Castlemaine, Vic was great apparently. I didnt make it either, but at least got to meet Sam Hamill & the Canadian poet Lorna Crozier when Robyn Rowland brought them to the Shop a day or so before they drove up to the country. Sam H hadnt been in best of health but gave his all to his sessions at the Festival. Some dribs & drabs have arrived already including a bunch of haiku related titles, Oliver, Levertov,& the big postWW2 American fiction writers. I'll put up a posting when there's another shipment soon. See you around, Kris Aich
