Such a privilege to appear with Rochelle Potkar, Sara F. Costa, Kavita A. Jindall, and Usha Akella on this wonderful Isolation Break initiative devised by the New York Writers Workshop (NYWW) and the Asia-Pacific Writers and Translators Association (AWPT), and curated by Ravi Shankar.  We were tuning in from all over the world: UK, India, Portugal, the States, and Western Australia (hence my late night,  appearing at 1am, thoroughly worthwhile). We read from our work and participated in a Q & A session. So many borders are being crossed through all these virtual means. Time zones, combinations of writers, experiences.  Unable to travel for real, it seems that thankfully we are still able to travel in other ways. No passport required. 

The full recording (and others in the same series) can be found here. 

This weekend I am appearing at the Nanga Music Festival in Dwellingup, Western Australia, and looking forward to being in the company of many wonderful lyricists and musicians. Details of the festival here

Trying out some wings for size at The Goods Shed, Claremont, Perth WA where I occasionally work. They tell me the halo is in the mail.
