Poem in The Canberra Times

The Canberra Times published Andrew’s poem, “Sketches of Life”,  in its Saturday Panorama arts section on 24 February 2018. “Sketches of Life” is a set of six haiku. The first and sixth haiku of the set are posted below:

Sketches of Life

.         i
The scent of onions—
from the kitchen the sound of
a knife tap-dancing.

…

.         vi
A shrugging gesture—
the child making it uses
even her eyebrows.

This complete version of “sketches of Life” is included in Andrew’s new collection, Distillations of Different Lands, scheduled for publication by Sunline Press next month.
