Introduction The canal was an ugly concrete gash through the guts of the city. Thin brown water frothed by unhealthily on a warm day in late spring, carrying the dead smells of trash and urine and shit along with it.

Honestly I'm not really sure if this is the appropriate space for this or not, but anyway...for those of you who have enjoyed some of my poems this year, I just published a new book. It is a collection of about 75 or 80 of my favourite poems I wrote during my travels this year around Australia and Asia, including a few that showed up here on Vocal. (I lost count because I kept going back and forth about which ones made the cut or not).

“YOU WANT AIDS CUNT?” There was far too much debate about whether this should be the opening line to the story, in Sandra’s opinion. She had spent two valuable hours down at the local Magistrates Court, this was the best story she got from the trip. A desperate young man charged with robbing the United petrol station, threatening the attendant with a syringe full of unidentified red liquid. The offensive, grammatically-challenged threat the syringe-wielding bandit shouted at the poor man behind the counter was the sealer. Sandra knew it. People would read and be outraged.
