overland 200 my poem on a role and other interesting collaborative things enigma of a fever chart not sleep or sleeplessness fever an alphabet in my head blocked nose slack mouth push a weighted stretch into night s panorama time moves the air around my bed words jiggle in books two hundred pages fall where the floor is darkness paces curiosity turns stars disaffection off the twittering parts freaks play with dream and with fire i churn its bulk cross to the window earth s amber bridge glows pops sparks yawns loose bits how to measure its worth other dawns exist they settle on other lips you could chart whether i ve drooled words all night or heaped a mouthful of ash sludge onto my pillow when derek first mentioned this project i was interested and quite excited about the prospect of contributing to a collaborative enterprise and i said yes immediately i thought about the way to approach my ten lines a fair bit prior to actually starting the poem and i admit that i did wait for some form of outside inspiration to edge me forward in the first instance i desired to commence from a place more loosely liminal than structured at least in the first instance as the project required the twenty poets to give a nod to the idea of on a role a past present and future maybe our own vision maybe not visionary at all i waited and pondered at a time when i was not well but not sick enough to take to my bed just not one hundred percent i was re reading val mcdermid s tony hill books being drawn into the strange and shocking world that character inhabits both inside and outside of himself i had noticed that many of the books used quotations in epigraph form or in titles from the poetry of t s eliot specifically from the collection four quartets featuring the poems burnt norton east coker the dry salvages and little gidding so i re read these poems again and then felt i had a connection which would work for my on a role the past the t s eliot poems are what got me moving into the poem gave me the title and some re mixed lines within once i started i gave myself time every day for ten days forced myself on some days to go back to the poem and rattle it and take it somewhere else one of the more successful aspects of the process for me as the author was deciding early on to align the notion of on a role the present within my body the body functions and the particular state of my body during the creation of my ten lines ideas began then on the way to look at this poem from the viewpoint of on a role the future and it is here that i also had to travel back again prior to gaining a sense of how the future might be a feature in my piece before i left queensland to travel to tasmania and live in tasmania permanently i had to clear through so much paper poems notes unfinished ideas and decided to hold a bonfire in the back yard and burn all of this work the bonfire was lit each night for several nights and i watched the work which would never be good enough to satisfy me or inspire me to keep go up in dazzling flames when i got settled in tasmania i dreamed about the process of this burning and thought about some of the poems and ideas that i d burned but thought about them in a different way looking at them forward rather than backward thinking that this burning this dreaming in fact was my on a role the future an interesting part of this process a personal tic or viewpoint i have is a conviction that most of the better work i produce comes about like a fever as i ve now been in tasmania for nearly a year i ve decided to put together some of the poetry i ve written here under the working title shack life fevers i like the idea of approaching writing from different directions every now and then quite a while back on the online discussion group poneme sadly now just a mere ghostly and sometimes icky presence compared to what it once was a few of us developed work using unfamiliar processes and then we included a series of studio notes which outlined the way we approached the content of our individual work this work was published in haiku review 5 http www haikureview net hr5 and it situates well against the collaborative poem just developed for overland 200 whilst still on the notion of collaborative experiments i d like to include another poem developed by jen crawford and myself during the hey days of the old poneme and which jen included in her book bad appendix published by titus books in 2008 i ll mention the process we used first and then leave you with the poem we both agreed to take a failed poem one which we would not use intact and work through that poem emailing changes and adding and shifting the work from two poems into one and expanding and contracting it until we both felt the work was done with us a surprise for us both i think was the discovery half way through the project process that jen had begun with her own failed emily dickinson poem and i had begun with my own failed virginia woolf poem we did want to disrupt language and engage with its gaps and silences and i think we did that and the poem something familiar about the way there are air something wha tissue issue

september 01 2010 overland 200 i ve just received my contributor copy and a cheque for the 200th issue of overland congratulations to all involved it is a great big number and a great big party happening in melbourne for the launch launch party for overland 200 launch party for overland 200 feddish 7pm 9pm free view map overland literary journal is launching its 200th edition and will be marking the occasion with an evening of celebration if you re a writer or a reader a friend or a well wisher or if you re just curious about what one of australia s most prestigious literary journals is up to now this is an event you won t want to miss derek motion asked 20 poets to each develop a ten line piece which he would remix into a 200 line poem derek s remixing i forged the 200 line poem out of the raw material i cut lines into tiny strips of paper and remixed is an interesting and playful poem titled before elapsing i think in every instance derek kept individual lines intact and his original prompt to each poet was to look at each piece as on a role the goal was to encourage poetry that looked at the role of the poet in the past in the present and in the future you could do yourself a favour and grab a copy of the overland 200 issue lots of interesting things inside and the poem is an edgy and charming way to feature the work of twenty poets speaking within the confines of a solitary piece it is more than suggesting a lessening of single ownership in contemporary practice it is embracing a concept of community and collaboration which feels good and timely poets

squires is dead when i heard this news i was shocked and i was sad i don t have too many fans of my poetry but he was one i have never meet paul and now i will never meet him but i did get to know him a little through comments he made on my own blog and on other blogs i followed i found that paul had gone through the back posts of my blog and left a trail of comments he was like that he did things like that and if he liked something he would say so and if he didn t like something he would say so kept his heart on his sleeve he did and he pulled up his cuffs often one of his comments which appears on the comments stream of my post below this one i am not good at whispering louise sorry shouting across the room with a slightly drunken slur more my style i m afraid now that i am rich i am thinking of paying people to make comments on my blog i have completely lost the ability or desire to take australian literature seriously enough to type it with unironic capitals one word from you over there saying anything would be worth more than a thousand government grants haha friday poet s night have a fantabulous one i am off to offer pam brown and john tranter an apology on the behalf of the working class sorry we didn t mean it just a perfect example of the kind of comment he would make he was a strange man author and his echo of thoughts which he shared on the blogs he visited and on his own blog showed what a true individual he was two of his poems are up in the current foam e click on the foam e link on the post below this one if you want to read them wherever you are
