One of Andrew’s poems was published in the June 2017 issue of Quadrant. The poem, a suite of five haiku, is titled “Bird Haiku“. The first and last haiku in the sequence are:

Bird Haiku

i
The overhead wire—
a pair of welcome swallows
singing in the sag.

v
Such a lovely note—
how could I not look up to
find the pardalote?
