The delightful Jennifer Compton was in the audience at my recent reading in Geelong, where I debuted some of the work from my sixth collection, The First 30 and other poems. After the reading, Jennifer approached me and asked me if she could feature one of the poems from the collection on her site Stillcraic… and of course I said yes! So please click on over and have a read (Jennifer has some lovely things to say about the work and the reading). The poem featured is 20th day from The First 3o sequence.

Love that poem Graham…the heart to heart was such a wonderful image.
Thanks Charles… it remains a favourite of mine too!
wonderful G.
